Output in context · Montedio Yamagata finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 0 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 37.5, Nodake carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 73 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
