Scout report
S. Fukuoka is a 31-year-old central defender at Gamba Osaka, rated 18.4 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fukuoka.
On the season, Fukuoka graded 2 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 1.91 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 32 → 2). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18. At 31 Fukuoka is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Gamba Osaka finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
1.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 5 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 18.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
