Watch points

- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 28.1, Xinxiang carries the 7th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Super League of 29 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample.

In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
