1 goal in 11 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Defensive volume. 4.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 14% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 61.2 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.31 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~28), then tapers with age. At 22, Moran sits on 26.8, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Moran's projected Rating — 61.2 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.
