Output in context · Chengdu Better City finished 3rd of 16 · an upper-table side
1.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 29 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 8 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 87% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.57 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.26 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 22.2, Rômulo carries the 21st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 51. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
