Final-third output. 0.8 goal contributions per 90 (0.53 goals, 0.27 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 39.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.5, Ryan carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J1 League of 28 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.8 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~15), then tapers with age. At 24, Ryan sits on 14.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ryan's projected Rating — 53.5 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.
