Shanghai Port
The current season leader of the Chinese Super League. In 16 games, Shanghai has amassed 42 points, creating a two-point gap from their nearest pursuer. The distance from the third place is even more substantial - ten points. Thus, Shanghai Port essentially has only one competitor - Shanghai Shenhua.

The 32-year-old is currently the top assist provider in the Super League, with 11 assists and eight goals. Additionally, Shanghai Port is the league's highest-scoring team with 50 goals. They have also conceded only 15 goals, the second-best defensive record in the league. Shanghai Port proves their dominance on the field.
