A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hidaka.
Judged on this season alone, Hidaka graded 0 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 75 of the 75 central midfielders in the J2 League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 0 defensive actions per 90.
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 16, 66th of 75 of the 75 central midfielders in the J2 League. At 31 Hidaka is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · JEF United Chiba finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 16.4, Hidaka carries the 66th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J2 League of 75 — 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).
