On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.6. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (78.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.21 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Inui.
On the season, Inui graded 28 for current form (age-blind), on 3 goals, 2 assists and 1.211 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 28). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14. At 38 Inui is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Inui is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Shimizu S-pulse finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 78.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.21 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 38, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 13.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
