We hold a single season for Yongjing, 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 22, top 36% of the 53 central midfielders in the Super League. At 29 Yongjing is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.
2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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 3 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 22.2, Yongjing carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League (top 36%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× 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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 29, Yongjing sits on 2.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Yongjing's projected Rating — 22.2 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.
