Scout report
M. Mitsuta is a 27-year-old centre-forward at Kashiwa Reysol, rated 44.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 41st of 193 on scout potential in the J1 League. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (84.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mitsuta.
Judged on this season alone, Mitsuta graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 28 of the 28 centre-forwards in the J1 League, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 35 appearances (0.068 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 11). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, top 33% of the 28 centre-forwards in the J1 League. At 27 Mitsuta is in his prime years, and a market index of 12.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
