Lawrence Shankland
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Lawrence Shankland's performance-implied value at EUR 0.8M-1.7M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.0M-3.2M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.8M-2.0M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.10x the positional average in the league (2050 minutes, league coefficient 0.31). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
