range pending · wider band
What he’s worth on the pitch today — our number, not the market’s. Reading the game is his art; pressing is his weapon.
GPS / value trend
Logged GPS and value trends appear after at least two real daily snapshots.
Daily snapshots only. Sparse history stays hidden rather than drawing a flat line.
Value trajectory
Value trajectory appears once GoalPost has a current FMV and dated season ratings.
Dashed line is reconstructed from season ratings, age, role, and today's GoalPost value. Logged-live value points will appear here once history accrues.

His defensive positioning is proactive rather than reactive—he hunts the ball with high-intensity pressing, forcing mistakes and turnovers in advanced areas. Movement is sharp and purposeful; he's a fullback who defends from the front.
