Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.68 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 33, 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 17.7, Tashiro carries the 52nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League of 64. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
