Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

K. Chida is a 31-year-old central defender at Tokyo Verdy, rated 18.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 80th of 98 on scout potential in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.89 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Chida.

Judged on this season alone, Chida graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 20 of the 20 centre-backs in the J1 League, on 3 clean sheets and 3.894 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 12).

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 15th of 20 of the 20 centre-backs in the J1 League. At 31 Chida is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • 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 18.3, Chida carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League of 20 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
