Outlook

With a Rating of 16, Nogueira carries the 38th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 40 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 31, Nogueira sits on 1.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Nogueira's projected Rating — 16 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.
