Scout report
T. Matsuda is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Kyoto Sanga, rated 24.1 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Matsuda.
On the season, Matsuda graded 22 for current form (age-blind), on 3 goals, 3 assists and 2.141 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24. At 31 Matsuda is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Kyoto Sanga finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
2.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.46 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 24.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
