7 clean sheets in 10 appearances (70% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Age curve. At 36, 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 15.6, Seung-Gyu carries the 26th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J1 League of 28 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 23–27 (~7), then tapers with age. At 36, Seung-Gyu sits on 2.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Seung-Gyu's projected Rating — 15.6 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.
