Output in context · Shandong Luneng finished 5th of 16 · an upper-table side
2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 25 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 57.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 19.7, Zhengyu carries the 26th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League of 54. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
