Output in context · Sichuan Jiuniu finished 12th of 16 · a lower-table side
3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 27 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 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 80.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 28.8, Kartsev carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League (top 8%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Sichuan Jiuniu finished 12th 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 solid defensive volume (3.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
