N. Hayashi is a 28-year-old central defender at Tokyo Verdy, rated 32.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 210th of 377 in the J1 League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (36.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.92 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hayashi.
Judged on this season alone, Hayashi graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League, on 6 clean sheets and 3.922 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 25). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 32nd of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League. At 28 Hayashi is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 32.4, Hayashi carries the 32nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League of 64, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tokyo Verdy finished 17th 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 solid defensive volume (3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~11), then tapers with age. At 28, Hayashi sits on 6.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Hayashi's projected Rating — 32.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
