Game time. Only 22.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 84.6 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 19, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

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 (~102), then tapers with age. At 19, Rigg sits on 81.2, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Rigg's projected Rating — 84.6 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.
