Judged on this season alone, Imase graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 182nd of 204 of the 204 centre-backs in the J1 League, on 2 clean sheets and 0 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Imase, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 193rd of 204 of the 204 centre-backs in the J1 League. At 33 Imase is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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.
With a Rating of 11.7, Imase carries the 193rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League of 204 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 33, Imase sits on 3.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Imase's projected Rating — 11.7 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.
