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

Outlook

With a Rating of 24.6, Sota carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J3 League of 48 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.35 goal contributions 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.
