Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

D. Tono is a 27-year-old centre-forward at Yokohama F. Marinos, rated 39.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 132nd of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (49.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.32 goals, 0.07 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tono.

Judged on this season alone, Tono graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the J1 League, on 5 goals and 1 assist in 21 appearances (0.388 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 15 → 24). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, top 39% of the 42 centre-forwards in the J1 League. At 27 Tono is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Tono missed 7 games through injury (achilles tendon rupture) out of roughly 38 this season. The 21 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Goals / app

5 goals in 21 appearances (0.24 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 1 assist for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.32 goals, 0.07 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.8, Tono carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J1 League (top 39%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Yokohama F. Marinos 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. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions 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.
