Clean sheets

1.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 44.1, Jin-Su carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 36 — though on just 25 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
