Minutes

6 clean sheets in 26 appearances (23% 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 86.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 24.6, Zhen carries the 7th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Super League (top 39%). A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
