Output in context · Kashima finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 3 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.54 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.36 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 43.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 52.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
