Output in context · Kashiwa Reysol finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.3 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
- Defensive volume. 3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 52.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 51.3, Nakagawa carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 41 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
