K. Yuruki is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Vissel Kobe, rated 21.8 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yuruki.

On the season, Yuruki graded 12 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals, 1 assist and 0.792 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 10). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

Clean sheets

0.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 21.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
