Scout report
T. Tsuchiya is a 23-year-old central midfielder at Imabari, rated 40.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 9th of 215 on scout potential in the J2 League. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (63.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tsuchiya.
Judged on this season alone, Tsuchiya graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 62 of the 62 central midfielders in the J2 League, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 0 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 11 → 5). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, top 2% of the 62 central midfielders in the J2 League. At 23 Tsuchiya is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 7.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Imabari finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 63.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 0 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 40.4, Tsuchiya carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J2 League of 62 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
