Suzuki's 2026/27 season, read from the numbers

In 2026/27, Z. Suzuki was used in rotation for Aston Villa in the Premier League: 4 appearances and 360 minutes, averaging 90 minutes per outing. The number that flatters him most is match rating — 71st of 198 goalkeepers and inside the top 36%.

Per 90 minutes that is 3.8 saves per 90, 0.8 goals conceded per 90 and a 83% save rate — the rate profile behind Suzuki's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against goalkeepers, Suzuki sits in the top 25% for chance creation but only the top 68% for tackling volume.

Set against Suzuki's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he is playing far less than he once did — 2155 minutes against 4395 at his peak. Our records cover 3 seasons of Suzuki's career, 2024/25 to 2026/27, across 2 clubs — Parma, Aston Villa. In that time he has played 65 matches across 5 competitions, 5,795 minutes in all.

By average match rating this is the strongest season we hold for him, 7.33. Away from his club, Suzuki has 14 appearances for Japan on our records — across World Cup and World Cup - Qualification Asia.

On our positional score Suzuki rates 49 out of 100, 29th of 99 qualified players — inside the top 30%. Relative to what each component is worth, his strongest is goals conceded.

How these scores are built, and the minutes and rating floors a player must clear to appear on our boards, are set out in our methodology.
