3 clean sheets in 14 appearances (21% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (15th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.4, Yamada carries the 9th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J2 League of 18 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A a regular starter keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
