Clean sheets

4.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 85.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 20.1, Ohgihara carries the 54th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 65. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
