We hold a single season for Cendagorta, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, top 8% of the 64 centre-backs in the J1 League. At 20 Cendagorta is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 11.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cendagorta missed 6 games through injury (foot) out of roughly 38 this season. The 22 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 50.1, Cendagorta carries the 5th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the J1 League (top 8%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~14), then tapers with age. At 20, Cendagorta sits on 11.7, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Cendagorta's projected Rating — 50.1 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.
