Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 21, Esposito sits on 1.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Esposito's projected Rating — 21.1 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.
