1 goal in 32 appearances (0.03 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 4 goal contributions (0.13 per appearance).

Strengths

Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.8/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 56.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Output. 0.19 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 25.3 overall — below regular-starter level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.19 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 23–27 (~33), then tapers with age. At 36, Henderson sits on 10, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Henderson's projected Rating — 25.3 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.
