Kim Dong-Jin is a 33-year-old central midfielder at FC Anyang, rated 12.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 138th of 153 on scout potential in the K League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.81 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 22nd of 43 of the 43 central midfielders in the K League 1, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.813 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, 39th of 43 of the 43 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.

1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.3% 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 12.1, Dong-Jin carries the 39th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 43 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
