Clean sheets

2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook

With a Rating of 52.5, Nono carries the 4th-highest potential of the full-backs in the J1 League (top 8%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
