Outlook

With a Rating of 18, Tanser carries the 36th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Championship of 40 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample.

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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 31, Tanser sits on 5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Tanser's projected Rating — 18 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.
