On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 48th of 53 of the 53 full-backs in the Premier League. At 32 Yakubu is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.

With a Rating of 12.7, Yakubu carries the 48th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 53 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 32, Yakubu sits on 1.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Yakubu's projected Rating — 12.7 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.
