Outlook

With a Rating of 27.3, Abner carries the 63rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Ligue 2 of 74 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 30, Abner sits on 5.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Abner's projected Rating — 27.3 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.
