4 clean sheets in 27 appearances (15% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 16) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 88.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 35, 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 12.5, Junling carries the 12th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Super League of 22. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
