Scout report
Bao Yaxiong is a 29-year-old goalkeeper at Shanghai Shenhua, rated 17.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 131st of 279 on scout potential in the Super League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.7% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yaxiong.
Judged on this season alone, Yaxiong graded 5 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 22 of the 22 goalkeepers in the Super League, on 2 clean sheets across 8 appearances.
We hold a single season for Yaxiong, 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 18, 9th of 22 of the 22 goalkeepers in the Super League. At 29 Yaxiong is in his prime years, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Shanghai Shenhua finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
2 clean sheets in 8 appearances (25% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.7% 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 17.5, Yaxiong carries the 9th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Super League of 22 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
