Caps & goals this season.
S. Inagaki is a 34-year-old defensive midfielder at Nagoya Grampus, rated 23 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 684th of 874 in the J3 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (100% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.34 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Inagaki.
Judged on this season alone, Inagaki graded 65 — a standout campaign that ranks top 2% of the 56 defensive midfielders in the J3 League, on 11 goals, 5 assists and 4.342 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 52 → 65). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 46th of 56 of the 56 defensive midfielders in the J3 League. At 34 Inagaki is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
4.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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 11 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 23, Inagaki carries the 46th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the J3 League of 56, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nagoya Grampus finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~18), then tapers with age. At 34, Inagaki sits on 5.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Inagaki's projected Rating — 23 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
