Scout report
S. Nagasawa is a 37-year-old centre-forward at Kyoto Sanga, enjoying a standout season — 3 goals and 3 assists in 22 appearances, a Season grade of 15, top 64% of J1 League centre-forwards. On long-term scout potential he's rated 6.7, ranking 374th of 377 in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (25.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.62 goal contributions per 90 (0.31 goals, 0.31 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nagasawa.
Judged on this season alone, Nagasawa graded 15 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the J1 League, on 3 goals and 3 assists in 22 appearances (0.619 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 15). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 42nd of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the J1 League. At 37 Nagasawa is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 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 · Kyoto Sanga finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
3 goals in 22 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 6 goal contributions (0.27 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.62 goal contributions per 90 (0.31 goals, 0.31 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, 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 6.7, Nagasawa carries the 42nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J1 League of 42 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.62 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
