Clean sheets

1.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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 7 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 90.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.28 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 46.5, Hasegawa carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League (top 19%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Albirex Niigata finished 20th 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 light defensive volume (1.28 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.
