Clean sheets

2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 82.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 15.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 37, Shiotani sits on 1.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Shiotani's projected Rating — 15.2 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.
