Project playerCentral midfielder

K. Shiihashi is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Nagoya Grampus, rated 31.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 214th of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (62% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.63 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shiihashi.

Judged on this season alone, Shiihashi graded 26 — a solid campaign that ranks top 33% of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 2.632 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 27 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 36th of 65 of the 65 central midfielders in the J1 League. At 29 Shiihashi is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.9, Shiihashi carries the 36th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 65, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nagoya Grampus finished 16th 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 (2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
