Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tanaka.
Judged on this season alone, Tanaka graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 101 of the 101 central midfielders in the J3 League, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 1.43 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Tanaka, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 60th of 101 of the 101 central midfielders in the J3 League. At 28 Tanaka is in his prime years, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Kagoshima United finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
1.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.1% 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 19, Tanaka carries the 60th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 101 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
