Clean sheets

1.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.22 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.3, Tawaratsumida carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League (top 7%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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.
