Output in context · Kashima finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 24.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 48.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
