His defensive output reads 2.72 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rui.
Judged on this season alone, Rui graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 43 of the 43 centre-backs in the Super League, on 2 clean sheets and 2.721 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Rui, 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, 38th of 43 of the 43 centre-backs in the Super League. At 34 Rui is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.3 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Sichuan Jiuniu finished 12th of 16 · a lower-table side
2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, 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 6.9, Rui carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League of 43, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Sichuan Jiuniu finished 12th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.72 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
