An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.23 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Otani.
Judged on this season alone, Otani graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 67th of 101 of the 101 central midfielders in the J3 League, on 2 goals, 0 assists and 1.233 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Otani, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 74th of 101 of the 101 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 29 Otani is in his prime years, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
1.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 15.9, Otani carries the 74th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 101 — 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).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~1), then tapers with age. At 29, Otani sits on 0.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Otani's projected Rating — 15.9 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.
