Clean sheets

6.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 1 appearance. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 6.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.9/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 1.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 35.6 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

At 29, Machida sits on 11.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Machida's projected Rating — 35.6 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.
