Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 68.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.2, Inoue carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 73 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
