Output in context · Omiya Ardija finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.8% 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 39.6, Ichihara carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 70 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
