Clean sheets

1.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook

With a Rating of 9.7, Chang-Moo carries the 41st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 43 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 34, Chang-Moo sits on 1.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Chang-Moo's projected Rating — 9.7 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.
