Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 83.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.4 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0.04 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 38, 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 8.6, Long carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Super League of 28, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Changchun Yatai finished 16th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.4 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
