On the season, Dong-Hwa graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances.

We hold a single season for Dong-Hwa, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 39. At 23 Dong-Hwa is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.6 reflects that trajectory.

1 clean sheet in 8 appearances (13% of games). Keeping that many behind a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 39.1 overall — developing / rotation level. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
