Output in context · Matsumoto Yamaga finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 22 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 27.9, Minoda carries the 4th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League (top 8%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Matsumoto Yamaga 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 (2.68 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.
