On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 48th of 55 of the 55 central midfielders in the Super League. At 33 Yudong is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Sichuan Jiuniu finished 12th of 16 · a lower-table side
4.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 24 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 42.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 9.2, Yudong carries the 48th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 55, 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 (4.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
