Output in context · Chengdu Better City finished 3rd of 16 · an upper-table side
1.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 10 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.97 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.43 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.24 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 18, Shihao carries the 25th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 55. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
