Outlook

With a Rating of 36.5, Wissa carries the 20th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 28 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~44), then tapers with age. At 30, Wissa sits on 21.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Wissa's projected Rating — 36.5 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.
