6 goals in 15 appearances (0.4 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.53 goal contributions per 90 (0.53 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.6% 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 33.9, Tanimura carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J1 League of 19, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Yokohama F. Marinos finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.53 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
