On the season, Yonemoto graded 12 for current form (age-blind), on 2 goals, 0 assists and 3.48 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10. At 35 Yonemoto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Yonemoto missed 4 games through injury (metatarsal fracture) out of roughly 38 this season. The 19 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
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
3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 10.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
