Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 10.2, Nishiya carries the 90th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J3 League of 101 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

Value & potential by age

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 32, Nishiya sits on 0.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Nishiya's projected Rating — 10.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
