On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 117th of 148 of the 148 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 30 Ward is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.2 reflects that trajectory.

With a Rating of 19.9, Ward carries the 117th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 148 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.62 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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, Ward sits on 5.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ward's projected Rating — 19.9 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.
