Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 15). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13. At 34 Hoshi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Hoshi is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Albirex Niigata finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 12.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
