3 clean sheets in 7 appearances (43% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.4% 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, Nishikawa carries the 1st-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J2 League of 21 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
