Output in context · Sichuan Jiuniu finished 12th of 16 · a lower-table side
2.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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 6 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 70.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.52 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 10.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
