1 goal in 9 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.15 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.6, Uchino carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J1 League of 28 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.15 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
