We hold a single season for Xiang, 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 6. At 36 Xiang is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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.
Rated 6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.46 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 36, Xiang sits on 0.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Xiang's projected Rating — 6 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.
