On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, top 28% of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League. At 28 Bueno is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.3 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Bueno is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Shimizu S-pulse finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 97% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 41.3, Bueno carries the 18th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League (top 28%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Shimizu S-pulse finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
