Clean sheets

3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 28 appearances.

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 (~15), then tapers with age. At 26, Barry sits on 14.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Barry's projected Rating — 45.1 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.
