The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 29 (~9), then tapers with age. At 29, Yates sits on 9.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Yates's projected Rating — 36.8 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.
