Output in context · Vissel Kobe finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 79% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 2 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 45.1, Thuler carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League (top 21%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (2 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.
