Scout report
Y. Kubo is a 32-year-old attacking midfielder at FC Cincinnati, rated 19.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 419th of 513 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (63.9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kubo.
Judged on this season alone, Kubo graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 39th of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 2 goals and 0 assists in 24 appearances (0.13 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 43rd of 50 of the 50 attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 32 Kubo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Kubo missed 13 games through injury and 1 suspension (unknown, hamstring, leg) out of roughly 38 this season. The 24 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.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · FC Cincinnati finished 8th of 15 · a mid-table side
2 goals in 24 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 63.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Output. 0.13 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 19.1, Kubo carries the 43rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 50. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.13 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
