Output in context · Chengdu Better City finished 3rd of 16 · an upper-table side
4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 21.6, Jussa carries the 11th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Super League of 24. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
