R. Meshino is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at Gamba Osaka, rated 30.9 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (11.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.49 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Meshino.

On the season, Meshino graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 2 assists in 8 appearances (0.488 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31. At 28 Meshino is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Meshino missed 3 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 8 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.

0 goals in 8 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0 goals, 0.49 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 11.7% 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 30.9 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.49 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
