Scout report
Hou Sen is a 37-year-old goalkeeper at Beijing Guoan, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 25 appearances, a Season grade of 20, top 17% of Super League goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 8.9, ranking 211th of 244 in the Super League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (81.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sen.
Judged on this season alone, Sen graded 20 — a strong campaign that ranks top 17% of the 18 goalkeepers in the Super League, on 7 clean sheets across 25 appearances.
We hold a single season for Sen, 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 9, 16th of 18 of the 18 goalkeepers in the Super League. At 37 Sen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Beijing Guoan finished 4th of 16 · an upper-table side
7 clean sheets in 25 appearances (28% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 81.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 37, 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 8.9, Sen carries the 16th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Super League of 18. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
