Projected value (24 months)€554k – €2.1M
Dashed line: current market value (€850k). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Kevin Yakob's performance-implied value at EUR 0.5M-2.2M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.3M-1.2M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.6M-2.1M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.39x the positional average in the league (841 minutes, league coefficient 0.47). 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: 841 league minutes last season.
  • ⚠League level coefficient 0.47 (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.
  • ⚠Projection range wider than for most evaluated players.
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
