3 clean sheets in 9 appearances (33% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (15th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Outlook

With a Rating of 5.7, Iikura carries the 30th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J1 League of 31 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 40, Iikura sits on 0.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Iikura's projected Rating — 5.7 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.
