Yuan Cong

Yuan Cong is a talented forward playing for Guangdong Sports Lottery in the Chinese Women's Super League (CWSL). At 25 years old, Cong is a rising star in Chinese women's football, known for her adeptness in front of the goal. This season, she has played 22 games, accumulating 1967 minutes on the field. With a goals-per-game rate of 0.45, she has consistently demonstrated her striking ability, leading the attack for her team. Her player archetype as a "Poacher" is well-supported by her impressive xG (expected goals) of 0.26 per game and her average of 3.28 shots per game. These statistics highlight her instinctive positioning and excellent finishing skills within the penalty area.

While Yuan Cong excels in scoring, her style of play is more direct and goal-focused, as evidenced by her lack of assists per game. However, she contributes significantly in other areas, averaging a progressive carrying distance of 42.08 per game and a progressive passing distance of 70.8 per game, which showcases her ability to advance the ball effectively. This capacity to carry and pass underpins her role not only as a poacher but also as a player who contributes to the team's forward momentum. Defensively, Yuan Cong makes her presence felt with possession-adjusted averages of 4.15 interceptions and 5.51 challenges per game, although her challenge success rate of 37% suggests room for improvement in physical duels. Despite this, her current estimated transfer value stands at €79K, reflecting her potential and the value she brings to her team.
