Career report

Ueda is operating at his career peak — the 2023/24 level is the level.

Peak: 2023/24Holding levelBreakout: 2023/24StreakyStepped up 2023/24

The record covers 6 seasons (2020/21–2025/26) across 2 clubs, including a move abroad — 148 appearances with 14 goal contributions from defence.

His best campaign on record is 2023/24 at Kashima — Season rating 51, 2 goals and 0 assists in 34 games. 2023/24 was the leap — Season rating up 28 points at Kashima. Output has held steady across his last 3 full seasons (51 → 50).

A streaky profile — form has swung hard between campaigns (spread of ±17 points), so the peak and the trough are far apart. Made the jump to a higher division in 2023/24 (J1 League) and kept playing — 34 games that season.
