On long-term talent our Rating reads 71, top 11% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 20 Irankunda is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 76.8 reflects that trajectory.

With a Rating of 70.6, Irankunda carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship (top 11%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~90), then tapers with age. At 20, Irankunda sits on 76.8, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Irankunda's projected Rating — 70.6 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.
