M. Hidaka is a 31-year-old full-back at JEF United Chiba, rated 16.6 overall by Field Insider's model. 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.
On the season, Hidaka graded 10 for current form (age-blind), on 4 clean sheets and 0 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 0 → 0).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17. 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
Rated 16.6 overall — below regular-starter level. 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).
