A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.63 goal contributions per 90 (0.42 goals, 0.21 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ishida.

On the season, Ishida graded 16 for current form (age-blind), on 4 goals and 2 assists in 24 appearances (0.63 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 16 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

Goals / app

4 goals in 24 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 6 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.63 goal contributions per 90 (0.42 goals, 0.21 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.1% 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

Rated 19.7 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.63 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
