Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 91.8% 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 42.5, Yamaguchi carries the 8th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J1 League (top 26%). A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
