We hold a single season for Tian, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 36th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Super League. At 31 Tian is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · SHANGHAI SIPG finished 1st of 16 · a title-challenging side
3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- 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 13.4, Tian carries the 36th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League of 54 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.11 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
