Outlook

With a Rating of 31.8, Paul carries the 6th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the USL Championship (top 14%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Monterey Bay finished 11th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 24, Paul sits on 4.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Paul's projected Rating — 31.8 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.
