On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 27th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League. At 29 Ideguchi is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Vissel Kobe finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 74.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.22 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 36, Ideguchi carries the 27th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 65. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
