T. Yanagi is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Fagiano Okayama, rated 28.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 243rd of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.37 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yanagi.

Judged on this season alone, Yanagi graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.373 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 14). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 43rd of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League. At 29 Yanagi is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.7% 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 28.5, Yanagi carries the 43rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 65. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
