Outlook

Rated 85.45600000000002 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 17, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~103), then tapers with age. At 17, Cartwright sits on 71.8, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Cartwright's projected Rating — 85.45600000000002 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
