7 clean sheets in 30 appearances (23% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (13th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.7% 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 55.4, Nozawa carries the 3rd-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Jupiler Pro League (top 12%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Antwerp finished 13th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A a regular starter 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.
