His defensive output reads 1.34 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Goto.
Judged on this season alone, Goto graded 15 — a strong campaign that ranks top 20% of the 101 central midfielders in the J3 League, on 4 goals, 0 assists and 1.337 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 15). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 94th of 101 of the 101 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 33 Goto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Kamatamare Sanuki finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th 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 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 7.8, Goto carries the 94th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 101, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Kamatamare Sanuki finished 17th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
