Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29, Nishimura carries the 9th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J3 League of 13, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Thespakusatsu Gunma finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

At 26, Nishimura sits on 4.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Nishimura's projected Rating — 29 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
