Clean sheets

2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43% 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 37.1, Min-Gyu carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 (top 39%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
