Outlook

With a Rating of 31.1, Brooks carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier Soccer League of 44 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 25, Brooks sits on 1.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Brooks's projected Rating — 31.1 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.
