Caps & goals this season.
Y. Sugawara is a 26-year-old full-back at Werder Bremen, rated 71.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 124th of 325 in the Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (81.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sugawara.
Judged on this season alone, Sugawara graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Bundesliga, on 5 clean sheets and 1.998 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 71, 23rd of 55 of the 55 full-backs in the Bundesliga. At 26 Sugawara is in his prime years, and a market index of 42.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 71.3, Sugawara carries the 23rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Bundesliga of 55, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Werder Bremen finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~43), then tapers with age. At 26, Sugawara sits on 42.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Sugawara's projected Rating — 71.3 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.
