Output in context · Chengdu Better City finished 3rd of 16 · an upper-table side
3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 2 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 93.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 27.3, Gurfinkel carries the 14th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League (top 26%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
