N. Ueda is a 31-year-old central defender at Kashima, rated 33.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 480th of 874 in the J3 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (100% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ueda.
Judged on this season alone, Ueda graded 50 — a standout campaign that ranks top 2% of the 204 centre-backs in the J3 League, on 16 clean sheets and 2.5 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 43 → 50). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 104th of 204 of the 204 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 31 Ueda is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.5 reflects that trajectory.
Ueda is operating at his career peak — the 2023/24 level is the level.
2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 16 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 2 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 33.7, Ueda carries the 104th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 204. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~26), then tapers with age. At 31, Ueda sits on 11.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ueda's projected Rating — 33.7 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.
