Outlook

With a Rating of 14.3, Chunchukov carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the First League of 20 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.12 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

Value & potential by age

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 22–27 (~2), then tapers with age. At 31, Chunchukov sits on 0.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Chunchukov's projected Rating — 14.3 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.
