Output in context · Kagoshima United finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 2 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 26.6, Aoki carries the 9th-highest potential of the full-backs in the J3 League of 19. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
