Output in context · Jeonbuk Motors finished 3rd of 12 · an upper-table side
3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 1 appearance. 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 37.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 46.6, Wi-Je carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the K League 1 of 22 — though on just 1 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
