Outlook

With a Rating of 42, Morishita carries the 19th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Championship of 26 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.43 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 29, Morishita sits on 10.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Morishita's projected Rating — 42 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.
