Scout report
R. Shindo is a 30-year-old central defender at Cerezo Osaka, rated 27.6 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (53.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.28 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shindo.
On the season, Shindo graded 11 for current form (age-blind), on 3 clean sheets and 2.276 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 10). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28. At 30 Shindo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Cerezo Osaka finished 10th of 20 · a mid-table side
2.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 53.2% 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 27.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
