All J3 League standouts →One of the biggest game-time risers in the J3 League: on the pitch for 90% of Renofa Yamaguchi's available minutes this season, up from 19% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.
N. Misawa is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Renofa Yamaguchi, rated 12.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 199th of 260 on scout potential in the J3 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (37.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Misawa.
Judged on this season alone, Misawa graded 0 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 89th of 100 of the 100 central midfielders in the J3 League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 0 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 0). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 82nd of 100 of the 100 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 31 Misawa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Renofa Yamaguchi finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 37.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 0 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- 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
With a Rating of 12.6, Misawa carries the 82nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 100 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
