Scout report
H. Nakamura is a 29-year-old attacking midfielder at Machida Zelvia, rated 33.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 145th of 193 on scout potential in the J1 League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (38.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.28 goals, 0.14 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nakamura.
Judged on this season alone, Nakamura graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 12 of the 12 attacking midfielders in the J1 League, on 2 goals and 1 assist in 9 appearances (0.413 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 18). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 12th of 12 of the 12 attacking midfielders in the J1 League. At 29 Nakamura is in his prime years, and a market index of 5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Machida Zelvia finished 2nd of 20 · a title-challenging side
2 goals in 9 appearances (0.22 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.28 goals, 0.14 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 33.3, Nakamura carries the 12th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J1 League of 12 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.41 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
