Scout report
S. Fujiwara is a 30-year-old full-back at Albirex Niigata, rated 31.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 219th of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (89.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.21 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fujiwara.
Judged on this season alone, Fujiwara graded 29 — a solid campaign that ranks top 36% of the 54 full-backs in the J1 League, on 4 clean sheets and 4.206 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 46 → 29). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 32nd of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the J1 League. At 30 Fujiwara is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Albirex Niigata finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 89.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 31.2, Fujiwara carries the 32nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the J1 League of 54, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Albirex Niigata finished 20th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
