Yuya Fukuda

Yuya Fukuda, in his prime at 26, stands out as a versatile defender for Tokyo Verdy, displaying a dynamic style of play that's both a boon and a bane. His impressive knack for creating chances suggests a flair for contributing to the attack, a rare trait for someone in his role. However, his ball retention could use tightening up; while he's adept at progressing the ball up the pitch, his passing lacks the precision expected at this level. Defensively, Fukuda's one-on-one and penalty area defending leave room for growth, indicating a need for greater discipline and positioning. Despite these defensive frailties, his ability to threaten in the opposition's box shouldn't be underestimated. This scout report reveals a player who, while needing to refine certain aspects of his game, carries the potential to evolve into a more well-rounded defender with continued focus on his weaknesses.
