In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 27, Banega sits on 4.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Banega's projected Rating — 28.2 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.
