Outlook

With a Rating of 37.2, Umeki carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 75 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
