M. Hidaka is a 31-year-old full-back at JEF United Chiba, rated 20.2 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.61 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hidaka.
On the season, Hidaka graded 14 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 4.608 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 14).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20. At 31 Hidaka is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · JEF United Chiba finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.3% 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 20.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
