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

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41. At 26 Okunuki is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Okunuki missed 5 games through injury (impingement syndrome, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 12 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
