Player Market Value
Track Sho Sasaki's transfer value changes and career value history
Sho Sasaki operates as Sanfrecce Hiroshima's Platinum Engine. Having joined the club back in 2015, the 37-year-old veteran has spent nearly a decade establishing himself as a reliable force, building his body of work through sheer dedication and immense defensive intelligence.
Though his sample size of 346 minutes across five appearances is still emerging, the veteran is firmly on an upward trajectory. His standout Defense dimension underpins his style of play, earning him recognition as a silver-tier INTERCEPTOR who excels at disrupting opposition passing lanes. He supplements this with a silver SHIELD badge, consistently putting his body on the line to block incoming shots. His tireless off-the-ball work ensures he controls the tempo and denies space effectively in his defensive duties, proving that true engines do their best work without needing the limelight of goal contributions.
While his market valuation reflects a downward trend typical of a player in the twilight of his career, his defensive solidity and immense dressing room influence offer invaluable stability to the squad when the stakes are highest.
