Scout report
V. Germain is a 36-year-old centre-forward at Sanfrecce Hiroshima, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 1 assists in 24 appearances, a Season grade of 12, top 74% of J1 League centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 11, ranking 360th of 377 in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (22.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.47 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0.12 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Germain.
Judged on this season alone, Germain graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the J1 League, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 24 appearances (0.474 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 40th of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the J1 League. At 36 Germain is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Sanfrecce Hiroshima finished 4th of 20 · an upper-table side
3 goals in 24 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.47 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, 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 11, Germain carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J1 League of 42 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.47 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
