Output in context · Chengdu Better City finished 3rd of 16 · an upper-table side
2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.9% 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 21.4, Dinghao carries the 21st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League (top 39%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
