Scout report
R. Matsuda is a 35-year-old full-back at Vissel Kobe, rated 8.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.31 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Matsuda.
On the season, Matsuda graded 7 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 1.314 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8. At 35 Matsuda is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Vissel Kobe finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 2 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 8.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
