Rob Schoofs
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Rob Schoofs's performance-implied value at EUR 0.9M-3.8M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.7M-1.8M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.4M-1.1M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.10x the positional average in the league (1630 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.
