On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 19th of 42 of the 42 centre-forwards in the J1 League. At 30 Suzuki is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
