Clean sheets

3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 17) 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Availability. On the pitch for 64.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Outlook

With a Rating of 15.1, Haraguchi carries the 41st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Challenger Pro League of 46. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~5), then tapers with age. At 35, Haraguchi sits on 1.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Haraguchi's projected Rating — 15.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
