Judged on this season alone, Sugimoto graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 190th of 241 of the 241 central midfielders in the J1 League, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 0 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 1 → 4). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 184th of 241 of the 241 central midfielders in the J1 League. At 30 Sugimoto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 25.3, Sugimoto carries the 184th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 241. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 30, Sugimoto sits on 9.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sugimoto's projected Rating — 25.3 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.
