We hold a single season for Nagai, 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 42, top 36% of the 241 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 26 Nagai is in his prime years, and a market index of 31.5 reflects that trajectory.
1.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 41.5, Nagai carries the 85th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League (top 36%), 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 (1.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~32), then tapers with age. At 26, Nagai sits on 31.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Nagai's projected Rating — 41.5 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
