Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.24 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 43.5% 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 38.8, Akimoto carries the 7th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J1 League of 12 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
