Output in context · Renofa Yamaguchi finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 57% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 0 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 16.5, Shimodo carries the 32nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 57 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
