0 clean sheets in 2 appearances (0% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 4) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Rated 42.9 overall — developing / rotation level. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× 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 (~33), then tapers with age. At 28, Kato sits on 19.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kato's projected Rating — 42.9 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.
