Clean sheets

1.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 94.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.95 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.2, Yukie carries the 61st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 73, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Vanraure Hachinohe finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
