Dashed line: current market value (€1.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Beni Baningime's performance-implied value at EUR 0.8M-2.4M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.4M-1.7M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.5M-1.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.58x the positional average in the league (1333 minutes, league coefficient 0.31). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

Acquisition note: Contract end date unavailable: range widened by 15% each side.
