Clean sheets

1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 88.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.77 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30, Egawa carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League (top 20%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
