Dashed line: current market value (€1.8M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Tom Dele-Bashiru's performance-implied value at EUR 0.3M-0.8M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.5M-1.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.9M-1.8M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.92x the positional average in the league (2362 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.

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

  • ⚠League level coefficient 0.40 (1.00 = big-five average): output may not translate.
  • ⚠No continental-competition minutes last season.
  • ⚠Contract ends in 12 months: cheaper, but competition and wage demands likely.
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
