On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 35th of 51 of the 51 central midfielders in the Super League. At 32 Alimi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Dalian Zhixing finished 11th of 16 · a lower-table side
4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 77.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 14.4, Alimi carries the 35th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 51, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Dalian Zhixing finished 11th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
