Scout report
G. Shibasaki is a 34-year-old defensive midfielder at Kashima, rated 11.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 354th of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.88 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shibasaki.
Judged on this season alone, Shibasaki graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 49 of the 49 defensive midfielders in the J1 League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.877 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 47th of 49 of the 49 defensive midfielders in the J1 League. At 34 Shibasaki is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Kashima finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.5% 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
With a Rating of 11.6, Shibasaki carries the 47th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the J1 League of 49. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
