Outlook

With a Rating of 12.8, Élber carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J1 League of 12, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Yokohama F. Marinos finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. 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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 34, Élber sits on 1.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Élber's projected Rating — 12.8 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.
