On long-term scout potential he's rated 32.7, ranking 204th of 377 in the J1 League. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present (96.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.18 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nduka.
Judged on this season alone, Nduka graded 43 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League, on 12 clean sheets and 3.178 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 26 → 43).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 31st of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League. At 30 Nduka is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.5 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Nduka is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Yokohama FC finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 96.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32.7, Nduka carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League of 64, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Yokohama FC finished 18th 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 moderate defensive volume (3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
