A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.24 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ludwigson.
Judged on this season alone, Ludwigson graded 12 — a solid campaign that ranks top 35% of the 32 central midfielders in the K League 1, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.24 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 12). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 30th of 32 of the 32 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 32 Ludwigson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Daejeon Citizen finished 6th of 12 · a mid-table side
2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 16.9, Ludwigson carries the 30th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 32 — though on just 29 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
