Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 14). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 66th of 71 of the 71 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 36 Okui is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 36.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 7.2, Okui carries the 66th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 71 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
