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 (~38), then tapers with age. At 28, Dōan sits on 23, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Dōan's projected Rating — 63 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines.
