Clean sheets

1.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.87 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.3, Konomi carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Consadole Sapporo finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
