Minutes

0 clean sheets in 23 appearances (0% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 14) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 88.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Age curve. At 40, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 5.9 overall — below regular-starter level. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

Value & potential by age

Market valueRating

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 18–27 (~0), then tapers with age. At 40, Young sits on 0.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Young's projected Rating — 5.9 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.
