Output in context · Kyoto Sanga finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 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 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 67.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.96 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 50.5, Hiraoka carries the 3rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League (top 8%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Kyoto Sanga 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 (1.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
