His defensive output reads 3.11 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tian.
Judged on this season alone, Tian graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 47 of the 47 full-backs in the Super League, on 2 clean sheets and 3.114 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Tian, 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 17, 31st of 47 of the 47 full-backs in the Super League. At 31 Tian is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Wuhan Three Towns finished 13th of 16 · a lower-table side
3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 68.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- 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 16.7, Tian carries the 31st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League of 47 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
