Outlook

With a Rating of 19.4, Anunga carries the 39th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 45 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 30, Anunga sits on 1.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Anunga's projected Rating — 19.4 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.
