An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Uehara.
Judged on this season alone, Uehara graded 0 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 52nd of 70 of the 70 central midfielders in the J2 League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 0 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 32 → 0). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 40th of 70 of the 70 central midfielders in the J2 League. At 30 Uehara is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Jubilo Iwata finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 19.2, Uehara carries the 40th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J2 League of 70 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
