Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

Kim Min-Duk is a 30-year-old central defender at Daejeon Citizen, rated 23 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 90th of 148 on scout potential in the K League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.16 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Min-Duk.

Judged on this season alone, Min-Duk graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 31 of the 31 centre-backs in the K League 1, on 2 clean sheets and 3.155 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 14 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 18th of 31 of the 31 centre-backs in the K League 1. At 30 Min-Duk is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.4% 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 23, Min-Duk carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the K League 1 of 31. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
