Kim Dong-Jin is a 33-year-old central midfielder at FC Anyang, rated 11.6 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dong-Jin.

On the season, Dong-Jin graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.25 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 12 → 8). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12. At 33 Dong-Jin is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 22 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.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.1% 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

Rated 11.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
