One of the biggest game-time risers in the J2 League: on the pitch for 99% of Consadole Sapporo's available minutes this season, up from 26% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.

Squad depthGoalkeeper

K. Nakano is a 27-year-old goalkeeper at Consadole Sapporo, rated 30.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 79th of 215 on scout potential in the J2 League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (52.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nakano.

Judged on this season alone, Nakano graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 18 of the 18 goalkeepers in the J2 League, on 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 7). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, top 28% of the 18 goalkeepers in the J2 League. At 27 Nakano is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.5 reflects that trajectory.

2 clean sheets in 10 appearances (20% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (17th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.2% 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 30.8, Nakano carries the 5th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J2 League of 18 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
