Clean sheets

2.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 22.9, Xuchen carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 55 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

Value & potential by age

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 26, Xuchen sits on 2.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Xuchen's projected Rating — 22.9 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.
