We hold a single season for Ruibao, 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 19, top 34% of the 50 centre-backs in the Super League. At 29 Ruibao is in his prime years, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.
2.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 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.
With a Rating of 19.3, Ruibao carries the 17th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League (top 34%), 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 (2.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~5), then tapers with age. At 29, Ruibao sits on 3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ruibao's projected Rating — 19.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
