Clean sheets

2.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 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 36.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 37.9, Shimamura carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J2 League of 62 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. 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.
