On long-term talent our Rating reads 78, top 17% of the 55 full-backs in the Bundesliga. At 24 Matsima is in his prime years, and a market index of 46.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Matsima missed 14 games through injury (muscle, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 18 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
