Output in context · Vanraure Hachinohe finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4 goals in 22 appearances (0.18 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 74.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- 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 21.6, Nakano carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J2 League of 39, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Vanraure Hachinohe finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.31 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
