Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 7). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 130th of 204 of the 204 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 29 Matsubara is in his prime years, and a market index of 12.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.
With a Rating of 28.9, Matsubara carries the 130th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 204 — 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). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~22), then tapers with age. At 29, Matsubara sits on 12.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Matsubara's projected Rating — 28.9 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.
