Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Geria.

Judged on this season alone, Geria graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 54th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League, on 2 clean sheets and 2.782 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Geria, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 59th of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League. At 33 Geria is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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 42.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 14.5, Geria carries the 59th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League of 64, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Albirex Niigata finished 20th 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 (2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
