Dashed line: current market value (€1.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Viktor Claesson's performance-implied value at EUR 0.2M-1.0M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.4M-1.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.3M-0.7M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.60x the positional average in the league (1002 minutes, league coefficient 0.47). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
