Scout report
Kim Dong-Jin is a 33-year-old central midfielder at FC Anyang, rated 12.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 124th of 137 on scout potential in the K League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dong-Jin.
Judged on this season alone, Dong-Jin graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 36 of the 36 central midfielders in the K League 1, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.79 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 10). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 33rd of 36 of the 36 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 33 Dong-Jin is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · FC Anyang finished 9th of 12 · a lower-table side
1.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 12.4, Dong-Jin carries the 33rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 36 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
