Clean sheets

3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49.5% 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 42.7, Kida carries the 16th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the J1 League (top 33%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.
