K. Yamada is a 27-year-old central midfielder at Yokohama FC, rated 41.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 321st of 874 in the J3 League. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (74.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.44 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yamada.
Judged on this season alone, Yamada graded 33 — a standout campaign that ranks top 4% of the 241 central midfielders in the J3 League, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 3.441 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 33). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, top 39% of the 241 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 27 Yamada is in his prime years, and a market index of 31.2 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Yamada is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 41.1, Yamada carries the 92nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League (top 39%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Yokohama FC 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. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~31), then tapers with age. At 27, Yamada sits on 31.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Yamada's projected Rating — 41.1 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.
