Clean sheets

2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 23 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.78 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Outlook

With a Rating of 22.1, Kotte carries the 17th-highest potential of the full-backs in the K League 1 of 22 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× 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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 30, Kotte sits on 2.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kotte's projected Rating — 22.1 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.
