Squad depthCentre-forward

Lee Sang-Heon is a 28-year-old centre-forward at Gangwon FC, rated 29.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 64th of 148 on scout potential in the K League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.6% of available minutes). He brings 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.31 goals, 0.1 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sang-Heon.

Judged on this season alone, Sang-Heon graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the K League 1, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 30 appearances (0.411 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 41 → 12). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 9th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the K League 1. At 28 Sang-Heon is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.4 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

3 goals in 30 appearances (0.1 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.31 goals, 0.1 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.6% 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 29.7, Sang-Heon carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the K League 1 of 22 — though on just 30 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.41 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
