6 clean sheets in 19 appearances (32% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (14th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.1, Sugimoto carries the 4th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J3 League (top 23%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Kitakyushu finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
