Scout report
N. Maeda is a 31-year-old winger at Sanfrecce Hiroshima, rated 17.4 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Maeda.
On the season, Maeda graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 0 assists in 3 appearances (0 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 8 → 0). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17. At 31 Maeda is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Sanfrecce Hiroshima finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
0 goals in 3 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 17.4 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
