Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 7.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 18, Ortega sits on 13.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Ortega's projected Rating — 58.51200000000001 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.
