An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (40.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.15 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Inoue.
Judged on this season alone, Inoue graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 50 of the 50 full-backs in the J1 League, on 4 clean sheets and 2.154 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 13). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 28th of 50 of the 50 full-backs in the J1 League. At 28 Inoue is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.7 reflects that trajectory.
Inoue is operating at his career peak — the 2021/22 level is the level.
Output in context · Yokohama F. Marinos finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.3% 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 34.8, Inoue carries the 28th-highest potential of the full-backs in the J1 League of 50, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Yokohama F. Marinos finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
