On long-term talent our Rating reads 60, top 16% of the 57 centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga. At 21 Ji-Soo is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 56.9 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Ji-Soo is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
With a Rating of 59.6, Ji-Soo carries the 9th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 2. Bundesliga (top 16%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~63), then tapers with age. At 21, Ji-Soo sits on 56.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Ji-Soo's projected Rating — 59.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
