Dashed line: current market value (€250k). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Benjamin Stambouli's performance-implied value at EUR 0.1M-0.8M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.1M-0.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.2M-0.3M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.79x the positional average in the league (960 minutes, league coefficient 0.88). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

Acquisition note: Contract end date unavailable: range widened by 15% each side.
