On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 185th of 241 of the 241 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 31 Chinen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.6 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Chinen is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
5.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 25.1, Chinen carries the 185th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 241. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~19), then tapers with age. At 31, Chinen sits on 8.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Chinen's projected Rating — 25.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
