Scout report
Lee Chang-Geun is a 32-year-old goalkeeper at Daejeon Citizen, rated 15.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 116th of 148 on scout potential in the K League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Chang-Geun.
Judged on this season alone, Chang-Geun graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 13 of the 13 goalkeepers in the K League 1, on 2 clean sheets across 27 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 8th of 13 of the 13 goalkeepers in the K League 1. At 32 Chang-Geun is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Chang-Geun missed 3 games through injury (fractured finger) out of roughly 38 this season. The 27 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Daejeon Citizen finished 2nd of 6 · a title-challenging side
2 clean sheets in 27 appearances (7% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 21.4% 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
With a Rating of 15.8, Chang-Geun carries the 8th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the K League 1 of 13 — though on just 27 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. 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).
