On long-term talent our Rating reads 40. At 23 Sako is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 11 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Tokyo Verdy finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 2 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 7.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 40.3 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
