Scout report
R. Morishita is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Blackburn, rated 44.8 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (64.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Morishita.
On the season, Morishita graded 40 for current form (age-blind), on 4 goals, 9 assists and 1.418 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 32 → 36). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45. At 29 Morishita is in his prime years, and a market index of 16.7 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 · Blackburn finished 20th of 24 · a lower-table side
1.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (20th of 24) 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 4 goals and 9 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.44 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.3 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.42 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 44.8 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
