Clean sheets

4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 93.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • 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 16.8, Jin carries the 16th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Super League of 27 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
