Judged on this season alone, Morishige graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League, on 6 clean sheets and 2.982 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 63rd of 64 of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League. At 39 Morishige is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
