Outlook

With a Rating of 53.9, Bouabré carries the 2nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League (top 8%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). 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.

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 (~16), then tapers with age. At 20, Bouabré sits on 13.5, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Bouabré's projected Rating — 53.9 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.
