On long-term scout potential he's rated 14.7, ranking 332nd of 377 in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (31.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.42 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Santana.
Judged on this season alone, Santana graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the J1 League, on 5 goals and 0 assists in 19 appearances (0.421 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 41 → 16). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 36th of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the J1 League. At 33 Santana is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
