The model rates Jani Atanasov's performance-implied value at EUR 0.3M-0.6M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.2M-0.7M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.3M-0.9M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.49x the positional average in the league (1632 minutes, league coefficient 0.43). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

Acquisition note: Around 18 months left: some discount usually possible.
