Dashed line: current market value (€5.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Tom van de Looi's performance-implied value at EUR 0.7M-3.9M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.9M-4.6M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 3.0M-6.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.27x the positional average in the league (2753 minutes, league coefficient 0.58). 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.

Risk profile

Overall: High

  • ⚠League level coefficient 0.58 (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.
  • ⚠Declining trajectory versus previous season.
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.

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.
