Output in context · Beijing Guoan finished 4th of 16 · an upper-table side
1.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 17 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 4 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 1.97 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 1.1 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 16.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 6.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.31 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 (0.6× and falling).
