Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shimoda.
Judged on this season alone, Shimoda graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 56 of the 56 defensive midfielders in the J3 League, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.509 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 24 → 21). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 50th of 56 of the 56 defensive midfielders in the J3 League. At 34 Shimoda is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 35 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 16.1, Shimoda carries the 50th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the J3 League of 56. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× 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 (~12), then tapers with age. At 34, Shimoda sits on 3.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Shimoda's projected Rating — 16.1 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.
