His defensive output reads 3.95 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lisheng.
Judged on this season alone, Lisheng graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 55 of the 55 central midfielders in the Super League, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.951 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Lisheng, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 51st 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 0.4 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Sichuan Jiuniu finished 12th of 16 · a lower-table side
3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22.8% 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 7.4, Lisheng carries the 51st-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 (3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
