On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 28th of 30 of the 30 attacking midfielders in the Super League. At 32 Xin 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 SIPG finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
1 goal in 16 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 4 goal contributions (0.25 per appearance).
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.46 goal contributions per 90 (0.12 goals, 0.35 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 28.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 11.6, Xin carries the 28th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Super League of 30 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.46 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
