Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33, Anderson carries the 3rd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premiership of 7, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Livingston finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.28 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 28, Anderson sits on 4.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Anderson's projected Rating — 33 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.
