Outlook

With a Rating of 18.8, Finne carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Eliteserien of 24 — though on just 17 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (1 goal contributions 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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 31, Finne sits on 2.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Finne's projected Rating — 18.8 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.
