How to tell if Potential is real in older players

[eagle farm]

One thing I have not worked out is older players can show a large difference between their actual and potential ratings - they may have an Eye actual rating of 40 and a potential of 65. I presume this means they are losing their eye?

But a young player may shows the same ratings - but I presume in this case it shows they may improve their eye?

Can I tell from the rating bar chart whether a player is dropping below their potential or is rising toward their potential?
