On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 39th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premiership. At 34 Armstrong is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
