Scout report
Park Chan-Yong is a 30-year-old central defender at Pohang Steelers, rated 23.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 59th of 83 on scout potential in the K League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (39.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.02 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Chan-Yong.
Judged on this season alone, Chan-Yong graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 19 of the 19 centre-backs in the K League 1, on 3 clean sheets and 1.023 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 12). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 14th of 19 of the 19 centre-backs in the K League 1. At 30 Chan-Yong is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Pohang Steelers finished 7th of 12 · a mid-table side
1.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.02 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 23.9, Chan-Yong carries the 14th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the K League 1 of 19 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.02 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
