Judged on this season alone, Suzuki graded 51 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 10% of the 31 central midfielders in the J1 League, on 10 goals, 5 assists and 1.159 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 43 → 43). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, 15th of 31 of the 31 central midfielders 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 8.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Kashima finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
1.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 10 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 95.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.41 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.16 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 39.2, Suzuki carries the 15th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J1 League of 31. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
