27th place: Where did last season go...

FW: Everaud (Brazil/Kashima Antlers) Date of birth: July 5, 1991 (age 30) Market value: 1.4 million euros ( Approximately 170 million yen) 2021 league match results: 28 games, 1 goal Everaud, who came from the youth organization of the prestigious Brazilian club Gremio, made his debut for the top team in 2011. However, he was unable to establish himself in the starting line-up, and since then he has moved from one club to another in Brazil. The results did not come out easily, and the market value continued to decline, but in Chapecoense, which he joined in 2019, he recorded his first double-digit score. The market value rose to a personal best of 1.5 million euros (about 180 million yen). Late-blooming striker Everaud joined Kashima Antlers in 2020. When he came to the J League, he mass-produced goals with the same momentum in Brazil. When he showed an activity that scored 18 goals, which was the 2nd place in the score ranking, he was selected as the J League Best Eleven in the same season. Everaud has performed as expected since the first year, but for some reason this season has stalled. Scored one goal in 28 league games. As a result, the market value fell to 1.4 million euros (about 170 million yen) as of June this year. If it doesn't make a comeback next season, prices will fall further.
