Experienced headDefensive midfielder

A. Barada is a 35-year-old defensive midfielder at Shonan Bellmare, rated 10.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 362nd of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.34 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Barada.

Judged on this season alone, Barada graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 49 of the 49 defensive midfielders in the J1 League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.343 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 10 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 49th of 49 of the 49 defensive midfielders in the J1 League. At 35 Barada is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 10.6, Barada carries the 49th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the J1 League of 49, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Shonan Bellmare finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
