Clean sheets

5.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 26 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 65.3% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 5.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, 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 10.5, Taoyu carries the 44th-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 high defensive volume (5.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
