Yuta Higuchi operates as the silver-tier Creator for Kashima Antlers. Since arriving at the club in early 2022, he has been steadily building his body of work as a versatile presence in the midfield, blending playmaking vision with a tireless work ethic to dictate the tempo.
Across eight appearances and 453 minutes of league action, his tactical profile is strictly hybrid. Higuchi dictates the rhythm and earns his keep through constant chance creation, officially recognised with the GOLD TRAY badge for his high assist frequency and the ARCHITECT badge for consistently unlocking opposing backlines with well-timed key passes. Unusually for a primary playmaker, his standout metric comes in the Defense dimension, proving his willingness to press, track back, and break up opposition attacks. While he is currently going through a quiet spell with zero goal contributions in his last five outings, his foundational passing abilities make him an ever-present threat once he regains his natural rhythm.
With a steady market value of €1M, Higuchi provides reliable experience and tactical intelligence. His blend of creative output and defensive tenacity ensures he remains an integral piece of the midfield puzzle as he looks to hit top form.
