Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
4 goals in 18 appearances (0.22 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 35, Collins sits on 1.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Collins's projected Rating — 10.4 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.
