On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, top 3% of the 47 centre-backs in the Czech Liga. At 30 Vavro is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Vavro missed 8 games through injury (muscle, muscle bruise) out of roughly 35 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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 30, Vavro sits on 4.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Vavro's projected Rating — 38.9 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.
