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 (~56), then tapers with age. At 29, Ivaldo sits on 30.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ivaldo's projected Rating — 42.1 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.
