Yan Bingliang

Yan is a steady presence for Tianjin and should be treated as a starter when he makes the club Starting XI, with 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and an average of 72 minutes per match, which gives him a reliable floor and the kind of baseline Sorare Edge rewarded with a 75.5 projection at medium confidence. The matchup at Shandong Taishan (Jinan Olympic Sports Center, August 9, 2026) leans toward a busy afternoon rather than a shutout; Shandong's matches this season have been high scoring and they concede about 1.8 goals per league game while producing plenty of chances, so Yan's ceiling comes from save volume more than clean-sheet upside. If you need a dependable minutes floor and the chance for a handful of high-value saves, he is a sensible start; if your roster hinge is a near-certain clean sheet, this fixture offers only a modest probability of that outcome.
