Judged on this season alone, Utsugi graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 65th of 100 of the 100 central midfielders in the J3 League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.022 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Utsugi, 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 17, 69th of 100 of the 100 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 30 Utsugi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Kamatamare Sanuki finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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 55.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 16.6, Utsugi carries the 69th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 100, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kamatamare Sanuki finished 19th 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 moderate defensive volume (3.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
