Scout report
N. Iino is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Vissel Kobe, rated 27.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 246th of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.22 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Iino.
Judged on this season alone, Iino graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 89th of 91 of the 91 central midfielders in the J1 League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.219 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 5). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 61st of 91 of the 91 central midfielders in the J1 League. At 29 Iino is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Vissel Kobe finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.4% 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 27.7, Iino carries the 61st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 91 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
