Output in context · Matsumoto Yamaga finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
0.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.32 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 16.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 19.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
