Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

Y. Ono is a 33-year-old centre-forward at Albirex Niigata, rated 11.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 356th of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ono.

Judged on this season alone, Ono graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the J1 League, on 0 goals and 1 assist in 11 appearances (0.142 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 39th of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the J1 League. At 33 Ono is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

0 goals in 11 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 1 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.14 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 11.2, Ono carries the 39th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J1 League of 42 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.14 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
