Clean sheets

2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (18th of 24) 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

Availability. On the pitch for 97.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 47.3, Shein carries the 18th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship of 31 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~36), then tapers with age. At 23, Shein sits on 36.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Shein's projected Rating — 47.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
