Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90).

Value & potential by age

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~14), then tapers with age. At 22, Kudo sits on 13.2, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Kudo's projected Rating — 50.6 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.
