Clean sheets

1.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) 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 21% 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 28.1, Seung-Ho carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 43 — though on just 26 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
