Dashed line: current market value (€2.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Wout Weghorst's performance-implied value at EUR 0.9M-2.7M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.7M-2.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.5M-1.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.69x the positional average in the league (1782 minutes, league coefficient 0.43). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
