Dashed line: current market value (€2.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Dujon Sterling's performance-implied value at EUR 0.7M-2.3M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.7M-1.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.9M-3.2M. Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

Acquisition note: Final year of contract: selling club's leverage is reduced.

Risk profile

Overall: Very High

  • ▲Small sample: 676 league minutes last season.
  • ▲League level coefficient 0.31 (1.00 = big-five average): output may not translate.
  • ⚠Contract ends in 11 months: cheaper, but competition and wage demands likely.
  • ⚠Projection range wider than for most evaluated players.
  • ⚠Played under 40% of available league minutes (injury data unavailable, cause unknown).
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
