Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 21 → 32). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, top 24% of the 56 defensive midfielders in the J3 League. At 26 Yamada is in his prime years, and a market index of 35.2 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Yamada is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
4.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 46.3, Yamada carries the 13th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the J3 League (top 24%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~35), then tapers with age. At 26, Yamada sits on 35.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Yamada's projected Rating — 46.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
