Álvaro García
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Álvaro García's performance-implied value at EUR 2.0M-4.2M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.5M-1.5M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.4M-1.1M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.14x the positional average in the league (2108 minutes, league coefficient 0.95). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
