Outlook

With a Rating of 21.7, Soisalo carries the 9th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the NB I of 14 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.14 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 28, Soisalo sits on 1.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Soisalo's projected Rating — 21.7 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.
