M. Yoshida is a 37-year-old central defender at Los Angeles Galaxy, rated 11.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 760th of 790 in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (84.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yoshida.
Judged on this season alone, Yoshida graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 70th of 148 of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 2 clean sheets and 3.295 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 143rd of 148 of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 37 Yoshida is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Yoshida missed 3 games through injury (hamstring, ankle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 15) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 11.5, Yoshida carries the 143rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 148, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Los Angeles Galaxy finished 14th of 15) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~6), then tapers with age. At 37, Yoshida sits on 1.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Yoshida's projected Rating — 11.5 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.
