Scout report
Matheus Thuler is a 27-year-old full-back at Vissel Kobe, rated 41.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 36th of 193 on scout potential in the J1 League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (52.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Thuler.
Judged on this season alone, Thuler graded 37 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 23 full-backs in the J1 League, on 5 clean sheets and 3 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 35 → 37). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 22% of the 23 full-backs in the J1 League. At 27 Thuler is in his prime years, and a market index of 17.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Vissel Kobe finished 4th of 20 · an upper-table side
3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 52.6% 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 41.8, Thuler carries the 5th-highest potential of the full-backs in the J1 League of 23 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
