Clean sheets

3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 76.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 52.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.88 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.

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 26, Tsunashima sits on 18.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Tsunashima's projected Rating — 52.1 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.
