Judged on this season alone, Chengjian graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 38th of 55 of the 55 central midfielders in the Super League, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.087 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Chengjian, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 41st of 55 of the 55 central midfielders in the Super League. At 32 Chengjian is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Wuhan Three Towns finished 13th of 16 · a lower-table side
3.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 16) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 42.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 11.1, Chengjian carries the 41st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 55, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Wuhan Three Towns finished 13th of 16) — 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 (3.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
