Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ho-Jae.
Judged on this season alone, Ho-Jae graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 4th of 6 of the 6 centre-forwards in the 2. Bundesliga, on 4 goals and 0 assists in 20 appearances (0.39 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 26 → 27). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 56, 3rd of 6 of the 6 centre-forwards in the 2. Bundesliga. At 25 Ho-Jae is in his prime years, and a market index of 21.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · SV Darmstadt 98 finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
4 goals in 20 appearances (0.2 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.39 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 51.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 56.2, Ho-Jae carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the 2. Bundesliga of 6, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (SV Darmstadt 98 finished 16th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
