Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 49.8, Matsumura carries the 2nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J1 League of 12 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
