T. Uchida is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Nagoya Grampus, rated 32.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 208th of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.87 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Uchida.

Judged on this season alone, Uchida graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 51st of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League, on 0 goals, 2 assists and 2.87 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 34th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League. At 28 Uchida is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.3, Uchida carries the 34th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 65, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nagoya Grampus finished 16th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
