Value picture

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

Estimated acquisition€498k – €1.5M
Model value (performance-implied)€791k – €2.2M
Projected value (24 months)€429k – €1.3M
Dashed line: current market value (€2.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Roman Zobnin's performance-implied value at EUR 0.8M-2.2M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.5M-1.5M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.4M-1.3M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.81x the positional average in the league (1246 minutes, league coefficient 0.56). 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

  • ▲Age 32: resale value typically declines.
  • ⚠Limited sample: 1246 league minutes last season.
  • ⚠League level coefficient 0.56 (1.00 = big-five average): output may not translate.
  • ⚠No continental-competition minutes last season.
  • ⚠League level estimated mainly from squad values (few matches vs other leagues).
  • ⚠Contract ends in 12 months: cheaper, but competition and wage demands likely.
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
