Squad depthCentral defender

Kim Min-Duk is a 30-year-old central defender at Daejeon Citizen, rated 21.8 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.18 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Min-Duk.

On the season, Min-Duk graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 2 clean sheets and 3.179 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22. At 30 Min-Duk is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.

Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Clean sheets

3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 12 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 13) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 21.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
