On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 61st of 71 of the 71 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 31 Chibu is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Kagoshima United finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
1.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.9 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- 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 13.2, Chibu carries the 61st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 71. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
