Cao Zheng is a shot-stopper at Qingdao Hainiu FC (48 overall, GK) — very poor at that. At 23 they already deliver and still rise (ceiling 56): the sweet spot between output and projection.

Between the sticks as GK. Sign them to lock down the goal for a long season; they give the consistency you ask of a starting keeper. The game also rewards them with roles like Goalkeeper, which reinforce that profile.
Where they really hurt you is diving (51) and kicking (51). Their diving is very poor and it's the trait to build their game around.
It's not all good: positioning (45) and reflexes (47). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Worth around 97 K€ with 3 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. And with a contract until 2024, you have leverage to bring the price down.
They start from 48 with a ceiling of 56 — that's +8 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
Their best position is GK.
Their potential is 56. They start from 48, so they can rise +8 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 97 K€, with 3 K€ wages.
Their reflexes is 47 — very poor for their position.
