Output in context · FC Gifu finished 13th of 20 · a mid-table side
1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 20 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.4% 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 26.2, Nakamura carries the 17th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 101 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
