Clean sheets

3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 7 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.8% 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 38.2, Semba carries the 17th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 25 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
