Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Noborizato.
Judged on this season alone, Noborizato graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 162nd of 204 of the 204 centre-backs in the J3 League, on 1 clean sheet and 2.8 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 196th of 204 of the 204 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 35 Noborizato is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Noborizato missed 6 games through injury (jumpers knee) out of roughly 38 this season. The 13 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances.
With a Rating of 11.1, Noborizato carries the 196th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 204 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 35, Noborizato sits on 2.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Noborizato's projected Rating — 11.1 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.
