Hans Vanaken
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Hans Vanaken's performance-implied value at EUR 2.4M-5.4M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.8M-4.6M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.1M-2.7M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.39x the positional average in the league (2565 minutes, league coefficient 0.65). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
