Finds target versus Inter Yoshida took one shot on target, had three interceptions and two clearances and scored a goal in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Sampdoria.
Impact Yoshida was decent in the back and, more importantly, he temporarily tied the game in the first half with a scuffed shot that was deflected by an opponent. It is his second Serie A goal. He registered three tackles, three interceptions, four clearances and two blocks in three games. Sampdoria will face Empoli away next Sunday.

Exceptional in tight loss Yoshida made six clearances and blocked three shots during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Spain.
Impact Yoshida helped his Olympic team concede just two goals in five matches en route to a bronze medal matchup with Mexico. He'll face a similarly talented opponent in this matchup as well, so Yoshida should have more to offer in his final Olympic game this summer.

Strings together best performance Yoshida took one shot (none on target) and intercepted four times in the 1-0 shootout win against New Zealand on Saturday.
Impact Yoshida has been a force throughout the tournament and he easily put together his best performance thus far. The defender is the veteran and captain for a reason for the young Japan side. He knows when to stay back and when to join the attack. Surprisingly, he does not accumulate many tackles, but his clearances are off the charts. If you need interceptions and clearances you do not need anyone other than Yoshida.

Earns clean sheet versus France Yoshida had a clean sheet, three clearances and four dispossessions in Wednesday's 4-0 win over Japan.
Impact Yoshida and the Japan back line keep making the headlines at the Olympics holding second clean sheet in three matches while allowing merely one goal thus far. The skipper though offers very little in peripheral stats with clearances being the only category that he offers some steady numbers and he'll need to keep racking up shutouts in order to hold his fantasy value.

Three clearances vs. South Africa Yoshida made three clearances and one interception during Wednesday's 1-0 win over South Africa.
Impact Yoshida was excellent to open the Olympics, shutting down South Africa and keeping the ball well away from his 18 yard box. The defender looked flawless throughout the match and is likely to have a spot in the starting XI Sunday, against Mexico.

Collects an assist in draw Yoshida registered one assist, took two shots off target, created two chances and made one interception in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Spezia.
Impact Yoshida had a good offensive outing Wednesday as he provided his second assist in 30 appearances this season. The center-back holds little fantasy value outside of racking up defensive stats and being an aerial threat on set piece situations.
