With a Rating of 23.8, Sugata carries the 44th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J2 League of 70 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample.

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 29, Sugata sits on 2.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sugata's projected Rating — 23.8 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.
