Scout report
Lee You-Hyeon is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Gangwon FC, rated 26.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 81st of 148 on scout potential in the K League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on You-Hyeon.
Judged on this season alone, You-Hyeon graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.913 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 13). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 34th of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 29 You-Hyeon is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.
You-Hyeon is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Gangwon FC finished 5th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33.4% 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 26.1, You-Hyeon carries the 34th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 48, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Gangwon FC finished 5th of 6) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
