Dashed line: current market value (€25.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Joelinton's performance-implied value at EUR 20.5M-37.7M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 10.0M-24.5M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 6.8M-16.6M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.64x the positional average in the league (1956 minutes, league coefficient 1.30).
