Output in context · Gangwon FC finished 5th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 36, Joon-Hyuck carries the 5th-highest potential of the full-backs in the K League 1 of 23 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
