The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around age 29 (~8), then tapers with age. At 29, Alkain sits on 7.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Alkain's projected Rating — 33.4 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.
