Scout report
K. Yamamoto is a 36-year-old central midfielder at Matsumoto Yamaga, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 1 assists in 16 appearances, a Season grade of 13, top 32% of J3 League central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 6.7, ranking 285th of 300 in the J3 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (37.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.47 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yamamoto.
Judged on this season alone, Yamamoto graded 13 — a solid campaign that ranks top 32% of the 101 central midfielders in the J3 League, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.469 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 13).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 98th of 101 of the 101 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 36 Yamamoto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Matsumoto Yamaga finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 37.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, 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 6.7, Yamamoto carries the 98th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 101, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Matsumoto Yamaga 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. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
