Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Motegi.
Judged on this season alone, Motegi graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 100 of the 100 central midfielders in the J3 League, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.567 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Motegi, 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 13, 75th of 100 of the 100 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 30 Motegi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · FC Ryukyu finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33.6% 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 13.3, Motegi carries the 75th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 100, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (FC Ryukyu finished 16th 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 light defensive volume (1.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
