Sorry that this is a bit less detailed than usual this year. In the past I’ve done half-season stats which meant that at the end of the year, putting together the final stats was a lot less daunting. But this time around, after a bit of a dodgy season, the thought of spending hours assembling them has made it a non starter for me. So you’ll have to put with this. I’ve got the total minutes that each player played and they will be in the player round-up posts. So, this stats section will just be a few top fives (or more) and some brief comments. Sorry! Stats were taken from Transfer Markt, Flashscore and the official Frontale site.
Most minutes played (all competitions)
1. YAMANE Miki - 4203
2. WAKIZAKA Yasuto - 3527
3. IENAGA Akihiro - 3353
4. NOBORIZATO Kyohei - 3037
5. Sung-Ryong JUNG - 3030
6. TACHIBANADA Kento - 3021
7. OMINAMI Takuma - 3009
I only listed players here who played more than 3000 minutes. Slightly worrying that three of those players are over thirty and that one of them seems likely to leave us in this transfer window.
Most goals (all competitions)
1. WAKIZAKA Yasuto - 13
2. MIYASHIRO Taisei - 12
3. TONO Daiya - 8
4. SEGAWA Yusuke - 7
5. YAMADA Shin - 6
5. SEKO Tatsuki - 6
7. LEANDRO DAMIAO - 5
7. TACHIBANADA Kento - 5
7. MARICNHO - 5
7. KOBAYASHI Yu - 5
First of all, I only had stats for league games and blimey, it was bleak reading. Thankfully with the addition of other competitions, where we’ve managed to score some more goals, things look a bit brighter. But still only two players managed to score over ten goals and one of them, (Wakizaka), had his total significantly enhanced by penalties. It’s a good thing that we’ve got someone who can score them now though. When you consider how long Miyashiro dropped out of the squad his stats look pretty good.
Least minutes per goal (all competitions)
1. KOBAYASHI Yu - 172
2. MIYASHIRO Taisei - 205
3. TONO Daiya - 221
4. LEANDRO DAMIAO - 236
5. YAMADA Shin - 246
6. SEGAWA Yusuke - 258
7. WAKIZAKA Yasuto - 271
8. MARICNHO - 335
9. SEKO Tatsuki - 440
10. TACHIBANADA Kento - 604
Here, as in the previous category, I stuck to people who’ve scored five or more goals in total as I thought it would make more sense if we’re doing an average. I think Kobayashi should probably take these stats and wave them in Oniki’s face a bit. At the same time, I was quite shocked as it didn’t really feel like he was that effective this year. Miyashiro comes out reasonably well again.
Most assists
1. WAKIZAKA Yasuto - 12
2. IENAGA Akihiro - 8
3. YAMANE Miki - 4
3. MIYASHIRO Taisei - 4
5. MARCINHO - 3
5. Bafetimbi GOMIS - 3
Wakizaka coming top here is no surprise really, half of his assists coming in the league and half in cups. Feel like I’ve been a bit hard on him. Yamane’s dodgy season is totally on display here, particularly when you consider he’s played the most minutes and assists is one of the big things he’s in the team for. The big shock must be Gomis finishing fifth after joining us so late in the season and hardly playing at all. But the fact that could happen shows how dodgy we were in 2023.
Most yellow cards
1. JOAO SCHMIDT - 7
2. KURUMAYA Shintaro - 5
3. OMINAMI Takuma - 4
4. KOBAYASHI Yu - 3
4. TACHIBANADA Kento - 3
4. IENAGA Akihiro - 3
4. YAMANE Miki - 3
4. TAKAI Kota - 3
I think a Brazilian player comes top of this list every year. They definitely seem to get booked for things that Japanese players get away with.
Most red cards
1. JESIEL - 1
1. KURUMAYA Shintaro - 1
1. OMINAMI Takuma - 1
1. WAKIZAKA Yasuto - 1
1. YAMAMURA Kazuya - 1
1. TONO Daiya - 1
1. KOZUKA Kazuki - 1
Nice to see the reds being shared around! We got a shocking amount of red cards this year, which I think speaks volumes about how we struggled. Too many different defensive partnerships due to injuries and red cards meant that we got more injuries and red cards. Can’t remember any of them being particularly shocking or outrageous. But then again, I’ve done my best to erase most things about this season from my memory so perhaps some were massive injustices. Surprisingly quite a few of these weren’t for our old friend, the DOGSO.

This section is always a bit of a free for all and here I've listed everyone who got one of these prestigious awards from me. My decisions for this don’t usually correspond with what other people think. This season there were plenty of times that I didn’t give this award. I think in past seasons it has only been for truly terrible games or games I couldn’t attend. I’ve attended as many games as I always do, so interpret the lack of awards how you want. Clearly some of the awards were for sentimental reasons. But in usual bizarre Frontale Rabbit style, neither of our top two scorers or top two assisters got even one award from me…
