Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Suzuki.

Judged on this season alone, Suzuki graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 57 of the 57 centre-backs in the J3 League, on 3 clean sheets and 2.167 defensive actions per 90.

We hold a single season for Suzuki, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 40th of 57 of the 57 centre-backs in the J3 League. At 30 Suzuki is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 94.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18.5, Suzuki carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J3 League of 57, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (FC Ryukyu finished 14th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
