On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 22nd of 52 of the 52 central midfielders in the Super League. At 28 Dinghao is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.6 reflects that trajectory.
2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 21.4, Dinghao carries the 22nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 52. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 28, Dinghao sits on 3.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Dinghao's projected Rating — 21.4 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.
