Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yamamoto.
Judged on this season alone, Yamamoto graded 15 — a solid campaign that ranks top 33% of the 241 central midfielders in the J3 League, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.469 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 15).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 234th of 241 of the 241 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 36 Yamamoto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
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.
With a Rating of 11.9, Yamamoto carries the 234th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 241, 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 (2.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 36, Yamamoto sits on 2.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Yamamoto's projected Rating — 11.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
