What separates Joe Mendes and Pedro Carvalho

  • Carvalho plays in a stronger league (0.58 vs 0.40); the other's output carries more translation uncertainty.
  • Carvalho is estimated to cost far less (€940k vs €1.9M mid-estimate).
  • On value for money the model prefers Mendes (Bargain Index 53 vs 35) — this is not a statement about who is the better player.
  • Risk differs: Mendes Moderate, Carvalho High.
