Output in context · Kitakyushu finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
0 clean sheets in 1 appearance (0% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (15th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 5.3% 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 22.8 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
