Scout report
T. Matsuda is a 31-year-old attacking midfielder at Kyoto Sanga, rated 23.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 73rd of 98 on scout potential in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.23 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Matsuda.
Judged on this season alone, Matsuda graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 5th of 9 of the 9 attacking midfielders in the J1 League, on 3 goals and 3 assists in 24 appearances (0.459 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 17). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 9th of 9 of the 9 attacking midfielders in the J1 League. At 31 Matsuda is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.5 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
3 goals in 24 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.25 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.23 goals, 0.23 assists) — productive for the role.
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
With a Rating of 23.9, Matsuda carries the 9th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J1 League of 9. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.46 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
