Scout report
J. Amano is a 35-year-old attacking midfielder at Yokohama F. Marinos, enjoying a standout season — 5 goals and 2 assists in 32 appearances, a Season grade of 19, top 49% of J1 League attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 12.3, ranking 348th of 377 in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (32% of available minutes). He brings 0.58 goal contributions per 90 (0.41 goals, 0.17 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Amano.
Judged on this season alone, Amano graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the J1 League, on 5 goals and 2 assists in 32 appearances (0.576 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 26 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 46th of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the J1 League. At 35 Amano is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Yokohama F. Marinos finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
5 goals in 32 appearances (0.16 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 2 assists for 7 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.58 goal contributions per 90 (0.41 goals, 0.17 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32% 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
With a Rating of 12.3, Amano carries the 46th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J1 League of 51, 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 genuine goal threat (0.58 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
