Interceptions

Clean sheets

0.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 12 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 15) 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. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.38 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 37.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 0.85 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 0.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Value & potential by age

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 17–37 (~0), then tapers with age. At 34, Jung-Joo sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Jung-Joo's projected Rating — 0.4 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.
