Birger Verstraete

The model rates Birger Verstraete's performance-implied value at EUR 0.5M-2.3M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.3M-0.8M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.3M-0.7M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.43x the positional average in the league (1498 minutes, league coefficient 0.65).
