Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook

With a Rating of 12, Chang-Moo carries the 45th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 48 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× 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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 33, Chang-Moo sits on 2.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Chang-Moo's projected Rating — 12 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.
