Every round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) brings a wealth of statistics—top scorers, assist leaders, distance covered, and pass accuracy—but the league itself rarely releases an official best XI. However, one well-known rating platform consistently publishes a round-best lineup right after the matches. Many fans believe this system offers a fairer and more objective selection than other websites or individual analyses. For Round 11, the chosen formation is a 3-4-3, and Chengdu Rongcheng dominates with four players, highlighting the recognition they truly deserve.
In attack, the lineup features Qingdao Hainiu’s Strandberg, Beijing Guoan’s Fábio, and Shandong Taishan’s Crysan. Strandberg has been a standout for Qingdao, playing all 11 matches and scoring three goals, including a brace this round, plus one assist. He’s a rare Swedish import in the CSL, and his impact is undeniable. For Beijing Guoan, Fábio made an immediate mark after returning from injury, showing world-class ball control and finishing in front of goal. Shandong Taishan’s Crysan also earns his spot with a brace this round, following a hat-trick in Round 10 that secured him the player of the week award.
The midfield includes Chengdu Rongcheng’s Wei Shihao, Qingdao Hainiu’s E Juma, Chongqing Tonglianglong’s Zhang Zhixiong, and Yunnan Yukun’s Huang Zichang. E Juma of Qingdao has been particularly impressive, frequently topping the distance-covered charts and contributing two goals and one assist. Youngster Zhang Zhixiong, born in 2006 and trained in Guangzhou, has made 10 league appearances, scoring once and assisting twice, while also forcing a red card for Shanghai Shenhua’s Mañana this round.
Defensively, the lineup consists of Wuhan Three Towns’ Mbury Yamkam, Chengdu Rongcheng’s Sorokin, and Shanghai Shenhua’s Zhu Chenjie. Goalkeeper is Chengdu’s Liu Dianzuo. Zhu Chenjie, a product of Shenhua’s youth academy, stands out with two goals in this round, including a brace scored while recovering from a high fever. His contribution was vital to the team’s performance.
This selection, which includes stars from Beijing Guoan, Shandong Taishan, and Shanghai Shenhua, underscores the top-tier quality across the league. The rating platform’s approach provides fans with a fresh perspective on standout performances each week.
