Judged on this season alone, Anzai graded 27 — a strong campaign that ranks top 29% of the 7 full-backs in the J1 League, on 8 clean sheets and 2.364 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 41 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 4th of 7 of the 7 full-backs in the J1 League. At 31 Anzai is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Kashima finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 49% 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 26.2, Anzai carries the 4th-highest potential of the full-backs in the J1 League of 7. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
