Dashed line: current market value (€85.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Alexander Isak's performance-implied value at EUR 35.6M-56.0M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 60.1M-117.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 43.5M-84.7M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.72x the positional average in the league (702 minutes, league coefficient 1.30). Confidence is low: 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.
