We hold a single season for Haiqing, 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, 40th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Super League. At 32 Haiqing is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Dalian Zhixing finished 11th of 16 · a lower-table side
3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 42.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, 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 11.4, Haiqing carries the 40th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League of 54, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Dalian Zhixing finished 11th 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 (3.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
