A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (50.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.18 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yamamoto.
Judged on this season alone, Yamamoto graded 11 — a solid campaign that ranks top 33% of the 61 centre-backs in the J3 League, on 4 clean sheets and 2.177 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 11).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 48th of 61 of the 61 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 31 Yamamoto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Kanazawa finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- 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 13.6, Yamamoto carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 61. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
