Dashed line: current market value (€1.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Matt Doherty's performance-implied value at EUR 0.8M-1.6M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.3M-2.0M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.3M-1.0M. Confidence is low: 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.
