14 clean sheets in 47 appearances (30% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Availability. On the pitch for 96.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 40.17 overall — developing / rotation level. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.

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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 19, Young sits on 3.5, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Young's projected Rating — 40.17 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.
