Clean sheets

2.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 23 appearances.

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 24, Groome sits on 2.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Groome's projected Rating — 26.1 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.
