Goals / app

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

  • Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.1 goals, 0.34 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.48 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 12.3, Nishiya carries the 16th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J3 League of 18. 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 (0.8× and falling).
