Clean sheets

1.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 22 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.91 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 13.7, Tsukegi carries the 47th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 61, 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 (1.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
