4 clean sheets in 22 appearances (18% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (16th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.8, Sato carries the 12th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J3 League of 21, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (FC Ryukyu 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. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
