On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, 55th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 30 Whiteman is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 29.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Whiteman missed 3 games through injury (injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 46 this season. The 43 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Whiteman is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.

Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.16 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 (~58), then tapers with age. At 30, Whiteman sits on 29.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Whiteman's projected Rating — 45.4 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.
