Kim Kang-Guk is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Gangwon FC, rated 24 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 86th of 148 in the K League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (17.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.88 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kang-Guk.
Judged on this season alone, Kang-Guk graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 46th of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.881 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 10 → 6).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 36th of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 29 Kang-Guk is in his prime years, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 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.
With a Rating of 24, Kang-Guk carries the 36th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 48 — though on just 25 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~16), then tapers with age. At 29, Kang-Guk sits on 9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kang-Guk's projected Rating — 24 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.
