Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

H. Iikura is a 40-year-old goalkeeper at Yokohama F. Marinos, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 9 appearances, a Season grade of 9, top 58% of J1 League goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 5.7, ranking 98th of 98 in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (23.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Iikura.

Judged on this season alone, Iikura graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 19 of the 19 goalkeepers in the J1 League, on 3 clean sheets across 9 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 6, 19th of 19 of the 19 goalkeepers in the J1 League. At 40 Iikura is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

3 clean sheets in 9 appearances (33% 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 40, 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 5.7, Iikura carries the 19th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J1 League of 19 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
