On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 30% of the 241 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 26 Pedro is in his prime years, and a market index of 32.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Pedro missed 3 games through injury (forearm fracture) out of roughly 38 this season. The 23 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
5.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 43.2, Pedro carries the 72nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League (top 30%). Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~33), then tapers with age. At 26, Pedro sits on 32.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Pedro's projected Rating — 43.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
