Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zhi.
Judged on this season alone, Zhi graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 45th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Super League, on 2 clean sheets and 2.949 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Zhi, 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 11, 41st of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Super League. At 32 Zhi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.
2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 10.7, Zhi carries the 41st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League of 54 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 32, Zhi sits on 1.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Zhi's projected Rating — 10.7 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.
