6 goals in 20 appearances (0.3 per game) for a mid-table side.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.74 goal contributions per 90 (0.74 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 58.2, Fukuda carries the 4th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the 2. Bundesliga of 18 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.74 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
