Clean sheets

3.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.6% 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 19.6, Shenyuan carries the 23rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 55, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Changchun Yatai finished 16th 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 moderate defensive volume (3.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
