On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 135th of 204 of the 204 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 30 Yamamoto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 10.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
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.
With a Rating of 28, Yamamoto carries the 135th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 204. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~21), then tapers with age. At 30, Yamamoto sits on 10.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Yamamoto's projected Rating — 28 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.
