Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 10).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35. At 27 Shimamura is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Albirex Niigata finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
2.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.2% 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 35.1 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
