Scout report

Squad depthGoalkeeper

K. Abe is a 29-year-old goalkeeper at Jubilo Iwata, rated 22.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 134th of 200 on scout potential in the J2 League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Abe.

Judged on this season alone, Abe graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 21 of the 21 goalkeepers in the J2 League, on 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 2 → 4). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 11th of 21 of the 21 goalkeepers in the J2 League. At 29 Abe is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.2 reflects that trajectory.

2 clean sheets in 8 appearances (25% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 22.3, Abe carries the 11th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J2 League of 21 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
