In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Takahata.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 7). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.5, Takahata carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 70 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
