Clean sheets

2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 5 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 72.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.46 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

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

Outlook

Rated 45.8 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.76 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 24 (~9), then tapers with age. At 24, Cheng sits on 8.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Cheng's projected Rating — 45.8 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.
