Projected value (24 months)€3.9M – €10.8M
Dashed line: current market value (€15.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Fredrik Aursnes's performance-implied value at EUR 4.3M-12.5M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 6.4M-13.8M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 3.9M-10.8M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.62x the positional average in the league (2294 minutes, league coefficient 0.58). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

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.
