Dashed line: current market value (€1.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Ali Sowe's performance-implied value at EUR 0.6M-1.4M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.5M-1.5M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.3M-1.0M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.02x the positional average in the league (2291 minutes, league coefficient 0.40). 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. Market values, fees and contracts come from third-party sources; ranges are model estimates with stated confidence.
