Scout report
Y. Kobayashi is a 39-year-old centre-forward at Kawasaki Frontale, rated 2.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (0.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kobayashi.
On the season, Kobayashi graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 0 assists in 1 appearance (0 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 4 → 0). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 2. At 39 Kobayashi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Kawasaki Frontale finished 7th of 20 · a mid-table side
0 goals in 1 appearance (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 0.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Output. 0 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 2.3 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
