Scout report
S. Ota is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Shonan Bellmare, rated 29.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 234th of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (67.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ota.
Judged on this season alone, Ota graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the J1 League, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 21 appearances (0.141 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 16). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 37th of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the J1 League. At 30 Ota is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Shonan Bellmare finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
2 goals in 21 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 67.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- 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 29.2, Ota carries the 37th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J1 League of 51, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Shonan Bellmare finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.14 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
