We hold a single season for Zheng, 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 6, 52nd of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Super League. At 37 Zheng is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Shandong Luneng finished 5th of 16 · an upper-table side
3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 49.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, 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 5.9, Zheng carries the 52nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League of 54. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
