On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, top 20% of the 50 centre-backs in the Super League. At 28 Yang is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.1 reflects that trajectory.
2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 29 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 24.2, Yang carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League (top 20%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 28, Yang sits on 4.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Yang's projected Rating — 24.2 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.
