Clean sheets

1.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 14) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

Game time. Only 42.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.72 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 1.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 17–37 (~0), then tapers with age. At 24, Ji-Hoon sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Ji-Hoon's projected Rating — 1.4 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.
