On the season, Kent graded 10 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals and 3 assists in 18 appearances (0.481 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 10). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 24. At 29 Kent is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Kent missed 11 games through injury (muscle, muscle bruise, inactive) out of roughly 37 this season. The 18 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.

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 23–27 (~4), then tapers with age. At 29, Kent sits on 2.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kent's projected Rating — 23.7 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.
