Scout report
Y. Ideguchi is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Vissel Kobe, rated 28.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 92nd of 193 on scout potential in the J1 League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (50.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.24 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ideguchi.
Judged on this season alone, Ideguchi graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 15 of the 15 defensive midfielders in the J1 League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.237 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 15). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, top 40% of the 15 defensive midfielders in the J1 League. At 30 Ideguchi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.9 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 4th of 20 · an upper-table side
4.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 28.5, Ideguchi carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the J1 League of 15 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
