Scout report
S. Kurumaya is a 34-year-old central defender at Kawasaki Frontale, rated 8 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (7.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.32 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kurumaya.
On the season, Kurumaya graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 5.316 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8. At 34 Kurumaya is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Kurumaya missed 3 games through injury (calf) out of roughly 38 this season. The 3 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Kawasaki Frontale finished 8th of 20 · a mid-table side
5.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 3 appearances.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 5.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 7.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.32 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
