Clean sheets

1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 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

  • Availability. On the pitch for 64% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.81 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.4, Okuda carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 57. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
