On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 21st of 21 of the 21 central midfielders in the Premiership. At 35 Shinnie is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
