We hold a single season for Sekiguchi, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 110th of 204 of the 204 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 28 Sekiguchi is in his prime years, and a market index of 15.1 reflects that trajectory.
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 33.1, Sekiguchi carries the 110th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 204 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~25), then tapers with age. At 28, Sekiguchi sits on 15.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sekiguchi's projected Rating — 33.1 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.
