Scout report
Cho Yu-Min is a 29-year-old central defender at Tokyo Verdy, rated 22.3 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (0.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yu-Min.
On the season, Yu-Min graded 0 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 0 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 5 → 0). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 22. At 29 Yu-Min is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Tokyo Verdy finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 1 appearance. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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 0.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 22.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
