On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 27th of 43 of the 43 centre-backs in the Super League. At 33 Songyi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Shanghai Shenhua finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 89.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, 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 13.4, Songyi carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League of 43. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
