Judged on this season alone, Shimodo graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 31st of 70 of the 70 centre-backs in the J2 League, on 3 clean sheets and 0 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Shimodo, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 57th of 70 of the 70 centre-backs in the J2 League. At 30 Shimodo is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Renofa Yamaguchi finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.1% 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 18.5, Shimodo carries the 57th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 70 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
