We hold a single season for Yiming, 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 16, 27th of 54 of the 54 centre-backs in the Super League. At 31 Yiming is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.
3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 15.7, Yiming carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League of 54, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Sichuan Jiuniu finished 12th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 31, Yiming sits on 2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Yiming's projected Rating — 15.7 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.
