On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 31st of 32 of the 32 centre-forwards in the J2 League. At 35 Matsuda is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

2 goals in 13 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.24 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 8.1, Matsuda carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J2 League of 32 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.24 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
