On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 54th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 35 Cairney is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 10.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 17.6, Cairney carries the 54th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~35), then tapers with age. At 35, Cairney sits on 10.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cairney's projected Rating — 17.6 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.
