What separates Harry Kane and Ollie Watkins
- Watkins is 2 years younger, which the models associate with more appreciation and resale potential.
- Watkins plays in a stronger league (1.30 vs 0.94); the other's output carries more translation uncertainty.
- Kane has higher context-adjusted goal contributions (0.54 vs 0.46 per 90).
- On value for money the model prefers Kane (Bargain Index 28 vs 2) — this is not a statement about who is the better player.
- Risk differs: Kane Moderate, Watkins Low.
