G. Shibasaki is a 34-year-old central midfielder at Kashima, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 1 assists in 10 appearances, a Season grade of 12. On long-term scout potential he's rated 11.9. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (30.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.09 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shibasaki.
On the season, Shibasaki graded 12 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.093 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 12). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12. At 34 Shibasaki is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Kashima finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 11.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
