His defensive output reads 3.57 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Morita.
On the season, Morita graded 31 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 3 assists and 3.571 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 28 → 31). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32. At 31 Morita is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Sporting CP finished 2nd of 18 · a title-challenging side
3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 57.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 31.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.57 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 (0.9× and falling).
