7 clean sheets in 30 appearances (23% of games).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 81.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 58.6, Nozawa carries the 3rd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Jupiler Pro League (top 11%). 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. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
