Clean sheets

2.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 64.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 33.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.42 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).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~14), then tapers with age. At 29, Morishima sits on 7.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Morishima's projected Rating — 33.5 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.
