A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (15.1% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yamaguchi.

On the season, Yamaguchi graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 0 defensive actions per 90.

Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 7 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 15.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 7.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
