Domestic-league season · Shanghai Shenhua.
Bao Yaxiong is a 29-year-old goalkeeper at Shanghai Shenhua, rated 17.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 133rd of 271 in the Super League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yaxiong.
Judged on this season alone, Yaxiong graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 21 of the 21 goalkeepers in the Super League, on 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances.
We hold a single season for Yaxiong, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 9th of 21 of the 21 goalkeepers in the Super League. At 29 Yaxiong is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.
2 clean sheets in 8 appearances (25% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
With a Rating of 17.5, Yaxiong carries the 9th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Super League of 21 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 29, Yaxiong sits on 2.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Yaxiong's projected Rating — 17.5 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.
