We hold a single season for Matsubara, 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 8. At 34 Matsubara is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Mito Hollyhock finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
3 clean sheets in 6 appearances (50% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 15.8% 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
Rated 7.8 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
