Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 33). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, top 31% of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League. At 27 Yamada is in his prime years, and a market index of 14.8 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Yamada is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Yokohama FC finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
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.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 74.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 41.1, Yamada carries the 20th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League (top 31%), 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.
