6 goals in 22 appearances (0.27 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.41 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 89.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.31 goals, 0.15 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 22.1, Mori carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J2 League of 39, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Imabari finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.46 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
