On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 20th of 28 of the 28 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 30 Shankland is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
16 goals in 29 appearances (0.55 per game) — a 15-goal haul playing for a title-challenging side (1st of 12). He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 19 goal contributions (0.66 per appearance).
With a Rating of 32, Shankland carries the 20th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 28. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.69 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~20), then tapers with age. At 30, Shankland sits on 9.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Shankland's projected Rating — 32 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.
