5 clean sheets in 21 appearances (24% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
With a Rating of 34.1, Watanabe carries the 34th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J1 League of 72, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Azul Claro Numazu finished 20th 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).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~26), then tapers with age. At 28, Watanabe sits on 15.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Watanabe's projected Rating — 34.1 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.
