Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yamamoto.
On the season, Yamamoto graded 13 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.469 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 13).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 7. At 36 Yamamoto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Matsumoto Yamaga finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 37.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 6.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
