On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 47th of 55 of the 55 central midfielders in the Super League. At 33 Chuangyi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48% 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 9.6, Chuangyi carries the 47th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 55, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Qingdao Jonoon finished 14th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
