3 clean sheets in 24 appearances (13% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.6, Chang-Geun carries the 10th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the K League 1 of 13, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Daejeon Citizen finished 10th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~5), then tapers with age. At 32, Chang-Geun sits on 2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Chang-Geun's projected Rating — 17.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
