Projected value (24 months)€342k – €1.0M
Dashed line: current market value (€1.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Jamie Vardy's performance-implied value at EUR 0.6M-2.8M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.3M-1.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.3M-1.0M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.37x the positional average in the league (2108 minutes, league coefficient 0.93). Confidence is medium: 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.

MoneyballAI identifies statistical opportunities from available data. A player flagged as a potential bargain is not guaranteed to succeed, to transfer, to rise in value, or to generate resale profit.
