Experienced headCentral defender

Hong Chul is a 36-year-old central defender at Gangwon FC, rated 7.5 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (6.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Chul.

On the season, Chul graded 4 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 0 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 8 → 4). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 8. At 36 Chul is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Clean sheets

0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 6.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 7.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
