We hold a single season for Zhi, 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 8, 45th of 54 of the 54 full-backs in the Super League. At 33 Zhi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Sichuan Jiuniu finished 12th of 16 · a lower-table side
2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- 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 8.2, Zhi carries the 45th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League of 54 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
