Clean sheets

4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.34 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 52.4, Matsumura carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 41 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
