On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 26th of 28 of the 28 defensive midfielders in the Super League. At 37 Xi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
3.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 28 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 9 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 10.7, Xi carries the 26th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Super League of 28. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.09 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 (0.5× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 37, Xi sits on 0.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Xi's projected Rating — 10.7 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.
