Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38.3, Sumi carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the J2 League of 75 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
