Clean sheets

3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) 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 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 87.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Defensive volume. 3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 74.3 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 24 (~45), then tapers with age. At 24, Fujita sits on 45.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Fujita's projected Rating — 74.3 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.
