Clean sheets

3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 8 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 17.5, Chida carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League of 37 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
