3 clean sheets in 14 appearances (21% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (14th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.1, Yamada carries the 14th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J2 League of 21 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

Value & potential by age

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~3), then tapers with age. At 31, Yamada sits on 1.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Yamada's projected Rating — 17.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
