Output in context · Tochigi City finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
7 goals in 22 appearances (0.32 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. He also laid on 6 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 13 goal contributions (0.59 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 91.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.65 goal contributions per 90 (0.35 goals, 0.3 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, 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 18.6, Tanaka carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J2 League of 39, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tochigi City finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.65 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
