Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 26 → 31). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 43rd of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League. At 30 Yamazaki is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.2 reflects that trajectory.
Yamazaki is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Yokohama FC finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 57.5% 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 27.2, Yamazaki carries the 43rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League of 64, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Yokohama FC finished 18th 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 solid defensive volume (4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
