Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fujiwara.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 46 → 29). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28. At 31 Fujiwara is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Albirex Niigata finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 89.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- 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 27.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
