FAR POST ANALYTICS

About Far Post Analytics

Far Post Analytics is a scouting database that gives overseas scouts and club staff a single, clear view of player data across Japan's J.League (J1, J2 and J3).

What we do

Data-driven recruitment is reshaping football. We look for the next talent not in the leagues everyone already watches, but in the Asian leagues still in the shadows. We convert appearance records and detailed stats into per-90 metrics and position-based percentiles, giving you the first signal you need to think: “I should go watch this one.”

Methodology

Every raw stat is normalized per 90 minutes, then converted to a percentile against players in the same league and position. A six-axis attribute profile — scoring, creativity, passing, dribbling, defending and duels — plus a player map that plots attacking and defensive contribution on one screen let you read a player's type at a glance. The metrics sharpen as more data is collected.

Data source and limits

Player records and photos are provided via API-Football (api-football.com). Data currently reflects the 2024 season, with detailed metrics enriched daily. The numbers shown are a starting point for scouting only — any real recruitment decision must go through your own verification and live observation.
