Output in context · Sagan Tosu finished 8th of 20 · a mid-table side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22% 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 37.4, Nishikawa carries the 6th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J2 League of 75 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample.
