Pieter Gerkens
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Pieter Gerkens's performance-implied value at EUR 0.7M-1.8M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.2M-0.7M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.3M-0.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.14x the positional average in the league (2397 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.
Acquisition note: Final year of contract: selling club's leverage is reduced.
