Output in context · Kanazawa finished 10th of 20 · a mid-table side
1.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 20 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.23 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 17.1, Otani carries the 73rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 100 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
