0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.8, Shinada carries the 30th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J2 League of 75 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~6), then tapers with age. At 26, Shinada sits on 5.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Shinada's projected Rating — 32.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
