An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (54.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.27 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Capixaba.
Judged on this season alone, Capixaba graded 24 — a solid campaign that ranks top 39% of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 2.269 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 24 → 24). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 37th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League. At 29 Capixaba is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Shimizu S-pulse finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 54.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 31.2, Capixaba carries the 37th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 65, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Shimizu S-pulse finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
