Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

Gu Sung-Yun is a 32-year-old goalkeeper at Kyoto Sanga, rated 15.5 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (10.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sung-Yun.

On the season, Sung-Yun graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet across 2 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 8). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16. At 32 Sung-Yun is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.

1 clean sheet in 2 appearances (50% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 10.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 15.5 overall — below regular-starter level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
