Dashed line: current market value (€7.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Moses Simon's performance-implied value at EUR 3.2M-6.1M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 2.3M-6.7M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.8M-3.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.87x the positional average in the league (2021 minutes, league coefficient 0.88). 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.
