Scout report

Experienced headDefensive midfielder

Kim Jung-Hyun is a 33-year-old defensive midfielder at FC Anyang, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 0 assists in 26 appearances, a Season grade of 13, top 67% of K League 1 defensive midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 12.3, ranking 121st of 137 in the K League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (27.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.64 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jung-Hyun.

Judged on this season alone, Jung-Hyun graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 4th of 6 of the 6 defensive midfielders in the K League 1, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.639 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 13). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 6th of 6 of the 6 defensive midfielders in the K League 1. At 33 Jung-Hyun is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 26 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

  • Defensive volume. 3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.5% 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

With a Rating of 12.3, Jung-Hyun carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the K League 1 of 6 — though on just 26 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
