Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sento.
Judged on this season alone, Sento graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 67th of 91 of the 91 central midfielders in the J1 League, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.86 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 73rd of 91 of the 91 central midfielders in the J1 League. At 31 Sento is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Machida Zelvia finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 20.8, Sento carries the 73rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 91. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
