Output in context · Sagamihara finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
1.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 62.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.43 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 15.2, Kawano carries the 88th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 100. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
