Scout report
S. Takahashi is a 34-year-old central defender at Matsumoto Yamaga, rated 5.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 263rd of 267 on scout potential in the J3 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.63 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Takahashi.
Judged on this season alone, Takahashi graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 61 of the 61 centre-backs in the J3 League, on 2 clean sheets and 1.632 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Takahashi, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 6, 61st of 61 of the 61 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 34 Takahashi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Matsumoto Yamaga finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22.6% 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
With a Rating of 5.5, Takahashi carries the 61st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 61 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
