Value picture

Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.

Model value (performance-implied)€226k – €562k
Projected value (24 months)€63k – €153k
Dashed line: current market value (€150k). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Jordan Obita's performance-implied value at EUR 0.2M-0.6M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.0M-0.1M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.1M-0.2M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.57x the positional average in the league (1428 minutes, league coefficient 0.31). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

Acquisition note: Final year of contract: selling club's leverage is reduced.

Risk profile

Overall: Very High

  • ▲League level coefficient 0.31 (1.00 = big-five average): output may not translate.
  • ▲Age 33: resale value typically declines.
  • ⚠Limited sample: 1428 league minutes last season.
  • ⚠Contract ends in 11 months: cheaper, but competition and wage demands likely.
  • ⚠Declining trajectory versus previous season.
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
