Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

M. Yoshida is a 24-year-old central defender at Oita Trinita, rated 35.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 41st of 200 on scout potential in the J2 League. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yoshida.

Judged on this season alone, Yoshida graded 9 — a strong campaign that ranks top 28% of the 70 centre-backs in the J2 League, on 4 clean sheets and 0 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 9). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, top 22% of the 70 centre-backs in the J2 League. At 24 Yoshida is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.4% 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 35.5, Yoshida carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 70 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
