Scout report
Y. Yamagishi is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at Nagoya Grampus, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 5 assists in 28 appearances, a Season grade of 22, top 45% of J1 League attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 20.3, ranking 294th of 377 in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (44.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.31 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yamagishi.
Judged on this season alone, Yamagishi graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the J1 League, on 3 goals and 5 assists in 28 appearances (0.488 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 22). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 41st of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the J1 League. At 32 Yamagishi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Nagoya Grampus finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
3 goals in 28 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.29 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.31 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.04 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 20.3, Yamagishi carries the 41st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J1 League of 51, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nagoya Grampus finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.49 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
