Output in context · SHANGHAI SIPG finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
1.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 2 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 76.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.36 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 18.1, Shuai carries the 30th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League of 54. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
