A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (44.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.76 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Matsumoto.
Judged on this season alone, Matsumoto graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.761 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 16). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 51st of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League. At 31 Matsumoto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
