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 25, Berry-McNally sits on 4.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Berry-McNally's projected Rating — 32.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines.
