Judged on this season alone, Ceará graded 54 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 12% of the 9 wingers in the J1 League, on 12 goals and 0 assists in 9 appearances (1.397 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 57 → 54). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 7th of 9 of the 9 wingers in the J1 League. At 31 Ceará is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Kashima finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
12 goals in 9 appearances (1.33 per game) — double figures playing for an upper-table side (6th of 20).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 1.4 goal contributions per 90 (1.4 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 45.2% 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
With a Rating of 26.2, Ceará carries the 7th-highest potential of the wingers in the J1 League of 9 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1.4 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
