Clean sheets

1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 99.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.55 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.5, Suzuki carries the 36th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 73, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Tochigi City finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
