Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 30). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, top 11% of the 38 full-backs in the Eliteserien. At 24 Cheng is in his prime years, and a market index of 23.2 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Cheng is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
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.
With a Rating of 46.4, Cheng carries the 4th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Eliteserien (top 11%). 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 ages 23–27 (~23), then tapers with age. At 24, Cheng sits on 23.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Cheng's projected Rating — 46.4 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.
