On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 53rd of 55 of the 55 central midfielders in the Super League. At 33 Lisheng is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Chengdu Better City finished 3rd of 16 · an upper-table side
4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, 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 9.5, Lisheng carries the 53rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 55 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.08 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 (0.7× and falling).
