Projected value (24 months)€531k – €1.9M
Dashed line: current market value (€3.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Daler Kuzyaev's performance-implied value at EUR 0.3M-0.8M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.7M-3.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.5M-1.9M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.53x the positional average in the league (996 minutes, league coefficient 0.56). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

Acquisition note: Contract end date unavailable: range widened by 15% each side.
