An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (15.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.33 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nakayama.
On the season, Nakayama graded 7 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 2.333 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 5). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31. At 29 Nakayama is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · FK Crvena Zvezda finished 1st of 8 · a title-challenging side
2.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 3 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 8) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 1 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Creativity. 0.67 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 15.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 30.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
