Availability. On the pitch for 81.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.1 goals, 0.31 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.2, Eriksen carries the 35th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga of 37, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (VfL Wolfsburg finished 16th of 18) — 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 productive contributor (0.41 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~27), then tapers with age. At 34, Eriksen sits on 8.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Eriksen's projected Rating — 27.2 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.
