On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, top 32% of the 64 centre-forwards in the Major League Soccer. At 27 Vázquez is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Vázquez missed 14 games through injury (jumpers knee, knee) out of roughly 36 this season. The 19 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.

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 27, Vázquez sits on 6.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Vázquez's projected Rating — 34.1 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.
