We hold a single season for Arnold, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 27th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Super League. At 29 Arnold is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.8 reflects that trajectory.
4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 26.4, Arnold carries the 27th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League of 37, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC Winterthur finished 12th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~14), then tapers with age. At 29, Arnold sits on 7.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Arnold's projected Rating — 26.4 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.
