Outlook

With a Rating of 0.2, Daniels carries the 49th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier Soccer League of 49 — though on just 0 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

Market valueRating

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 17–37 (~0), then tapers with age. At 39, Daniels sits on 0, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Daniels's projected Rating — 0.2 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.
