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.

Dashed line is reconstructed from season ratings, age, role, and today's GoalPost value. Logged-live value points will appear here once history accrues.

K. Barbarouses works from the half-spaces, not as a fixed striker but as a sharp inside-forward who drifts into pockets and attacks the gap. He plays on instinct and economy: quick combinations, clever angles, and crisp first-time actions rather than heavy volume. At this stage of his career, the polish is in his movement and decision-making, finding little seams and turning them into danger.
