Output in context · Shanghai Shenhua finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
5.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 15 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 5.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 13.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 24.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
