Clean sheets

1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.55 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 34, 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 7.3, Ogawa carries the 65th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 71, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Matsumoto Yamaga finished 15th 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 (1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
