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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 19, Sepic sits on 3.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Sepic's projected Rating — 32.9 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.
