Wilfred Ndidi
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Wilfred Ndidi's performance-implied value at EUR 2.9M-6.6M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 2.6M-8.0M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 2.5M-5.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.31x the positional average in the league (2000 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.
