Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

S. Takeda is a 32-year-old central midfielder at Kyoto Sanga, rated 17.9 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.09 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Takeda.

On the season, Takeda graded 9 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.093 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 9). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18. At 32 Takeda is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.

Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Clean sheets

2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 17.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
