Experienced headGoalkeeper

E. Kawashima is a 43-year-old goalkeeper at Jubilo Iwata, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 12 appearances, a Season grade of 11, top 29% of J2 League goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 5.6, ranking 199th of 200 in the J2 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (30.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kawashima.

Judged on this season alone, Kawashima graded 11 — a strong campaign that ranks top 29% of the 21 goalkeepers in the J2 League, on 4 clean sheets across 12 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 11). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 6, 21st of 21 of the 21 goalkeepers in the J2 League. At 43 Kawashima is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.

4 clean sheets in 12 appearances (33% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 43, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 5.6, Kawashima carries the 21st-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J2 League of 21 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
