Scout report
Matheus Bueno is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Kashima, rated 33.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 41st of 193 on scout potential in the J1 League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (36% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.21 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bueno.
Judged on this season alone, Bueno graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 41 of the 41 central midfielders in the J1 League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.214 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, top 25% of the 41 central midfielders in the J1 League. At 28 Bueno is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2025/26 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Kashima finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 36% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 33.9, Bueno carries the 10th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 41 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
