Scout report
Cho Young-Wook is a 27-year-old centre-forward at FC Seoul, rated 34.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 41st of 148 on scout potential in the K League 1. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (38.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.34 goals, 0.07 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Young-Wook.
Judged on this season alone, Young-Wook graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the K League 1, on 5 goals and 1 assist in 34 appearances (0.41 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 18 → 19). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, top 23% of the 22 centre-forwards in the K League 1. At 27 Young-Wook is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · FC Seoul finished 6th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
5 goals in 34 appearances (0.15 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. Add 1 assist for 6 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.34 goals, 0.07 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 38.5% 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 34.6, Young-Wook carries the 5th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the K League 1 (top 23%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC Seoul finished 6th of 6) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.41 goal contributions 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.
