4 clean sheets in 15 appearances (27% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Outlook

With a Rating of 6.3, Sato carries the 17th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J2 League of 21, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Roasso Kumamoto finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A rotation minutes 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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 40, Sato sits on 0.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Sato's projected Rating — 6.3 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.
