On long-term talent our Rating reads 25. At 32 Kovačić is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 12.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Kovačić missed 23 games through injury (heel, achilles tendon problems, achilles tendon) out of roughly 38 this season. The 6 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Watch points

- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook
