Strengths

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

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.64 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.4, Nagakura carries the 16th-highest potential of the full-backs in the J3 League of 19 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
