We hold a single season for Hidaka, 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 21, 204th of 241 of the 241 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 31 Hidaka is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7 reflects that trajectory.
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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.
With a Rating of 20.5, Hidaka carries the 204th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 241 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
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 (~16), then tapers with age. At 31, Hidaka sits on 7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Hidaka's projected Rating — 20.5 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.
