Clean sheets

2.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 87.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32.8, Chenjie carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League (top 6%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
