1 goal in 23 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 6.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 35.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.19 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.3, Weijie carries the 6th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Super League (top 20%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Dalian Zhixing finished 11th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.19 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
