6 clean sheets in 19 appearances (32% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, 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 11.6, Cheong-Hyo carries the 11th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the K League 1 of 13, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Gangwon FC finished 5th of 6) — 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 (0.6× and falling).
