On long-term talent our Rating reads 12. At 30 Sato is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Azul Claro Numazu finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
1.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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 15.7% 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 11.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
