Output in context · 1. FC Kaiserslautern finished 6th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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.
Strengths
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 59.6, Ji-Soo carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga (top 16%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
