On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 24th of 51 of the 51 central midfielders in the Super League. At 29 Delgado is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Dalian Zhixing finished 11th of 16 · a lower-table side
2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.43 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 20.5, Delgado carries the 24th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 51 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
