On the season, Iikura graded 24 for current form (age-blind), on 3 clean sheets across 5 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 24). Across the 7 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

3 clean sheets in 5 appearances (60% of games).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 40, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 6.4 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
