K. Matsuda is a 26-year-old central defender at Renofa Yamaguchi, rated 31.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 82nd of 200 in the J2 League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (36.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Matsuda.
Judged on this season alone, Matsuda graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 70 of the 70 centre-backs in the J2 League, on 3 clean sheets and 0 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 6).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 29th of 70 of the 70 centre-backs in the J2 League. At 26 Matsuda is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.7 reflects that trajectory.
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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.
With a Rating of 31.6, Matsuda carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 70 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 26, Matsuda sits on 5.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Matsuda's projected Rating — 31.6 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.
