On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 33rd of 49 of the 49 defensive midfielders in the J1 League. At 31 Mae is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Machida Zelvia finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 33 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 81.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 31, 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 29.1, Mae carries the 33rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the J1 League of 49. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
