On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.6, ranking 339th of 377 in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (78.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.21 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Inui.
Judged on this season alone, Inui graded 28 — a strong campaign that ranks top 28% of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League, on 3 goals, 2 assists and 1.211 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 18 → 28). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 60th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League. At 38 Inui is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Inui is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Shimizu S-pulse finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
1.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 78.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.21 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 38, 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 13.6, Inui carries the 60th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 65, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Shimizu S-pulse finished 14th 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 light defensive volume (1.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
