Output in context · Tochigi City finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
2 goals in 22 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 7 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.41 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 92.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.1 goals, 0.34 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.48 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 13.4, Nishiya carries the 6th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J2 League of 7, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tochigi City finished 16th 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 (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
