Experienced headCentral defender

Y. Nogami is a 35-year-old central defender at Nagoya Grampus, rated 13.8 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (50.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.05 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nogami.

On the season, Nogami graded 13 for current form (age-blind), on 4 clean sheets and 2.05 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 15 → 15). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 14. At 35 Nogami is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 13.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
