Rated 55.6 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.26 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 age 27 (~33), then tapers with age. At 27, Kaars sits on 33.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Kaars's projected Rating — 55.6 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.
