Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook

Rated 33.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~20), then tapers with age. At 31, Minamino sits on 9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Minamino's projected Rating — 33.3 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.
