Scout report
R. Tsunoda is a 27-year-old central defender at Yokohama F. Marinos, rated 37.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 160th of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tsunoda.
Judged on this season alone, Tsunoda graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League, on 3 clean sheets and 4.362 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 13 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 26th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League. At 27 Tsunoda is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Yokohama F. Marinos finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.43 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
- Defensive volume. 4.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.7% 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 37.2, Tsunoda carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League of 64 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
