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.

Watch points
- Game time. Only 40% 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 24.7, Abe carries the 18th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J1 League of 28 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
