Outlook

With a Rating of 23, Williamson carries the 65th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 84 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.18 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 29, Williamson sits on 2.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Williamson's projected Rating — 23 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.
