Squad depthCreative Attacking midfielder

K. Inoue is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at Yokohama F. Marinos, rated 33.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 189th of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (40.3% of available minutes). He brings 0.26 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.26 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Inoue.

Judged on this season alone, Inoue graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the J1 League, on 0 goals and 4 assists in 28 appearances (0.261 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 12). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 30th of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the J1 League. At 28 Inoue is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.

0 goals in 28 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 4 goal contributions (0.14 per appearance).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.26 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.9, Inoue carries the 30th-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 work-in-progress on end product (0.26 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
