Outlook

With a Rating of 26.6, Rodrigues carries the 15th-highest potential of the wingers in the League One of 17 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.69 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~17), then tapers with age. At 29, Rodrigues sits on 9.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Rodrigues's projected Rating — 26.6 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.
