Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 9.7, Suzuki carries the 66th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 70 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
