On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 155th of 204 of the 204 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 33 Shōji is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.5 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Shōji is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 14 clean sheets across 38 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 24.6, Shōji carries the 155th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 204. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~19), then tapers with age. At 33, Shōji sits on 6.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Shōji's projected Rating — 24.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
