An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kumata.

Judged on this season alone, Kumata graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 32 of the 32 centre-forwards in the J2 League, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 10 appearances (0.141 involvements per 90).

1 goal in 10 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.14 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 37.3, Kumata carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J2 League of 32 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.14 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
