Scout report
T. Morishima is a 29-year-old defensive midfielder at Nagoya Grampus, rated 33.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 193rd of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (64.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Morishima.
Judged on this season alone, Morishima graded 31 — a strong campaign that ranks top 29% of the 49 defensive midfielders in the J1 League, on 1 goal, 5 assists and 2.424 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 31). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 30th of 49 of the 49 defensive midfielders in the J1 League. At 29 Morishima is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Nagoya Grampus finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 36 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 1 goal and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 33.7, Morishima carries the 30th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the J1 League of 49, 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 (2.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
