0 goals in 2 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.4/100).
Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 2.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Output. 0 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

Rated 65.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

At 21, Shiogai sits on 35.3, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Shiogai's projected Rating — 65.6 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.
