The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 29 (~7), then tapers with age. At 29, Ba sits on 6.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ba's projected Rating — 33.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines.
