Javi Hernández
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Javi Hernández's performance-implied value at EUR 1.3M-4.6M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.6M-1.8M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.7M-2.4M. 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.
Bargain Index: not assigned

Overall: Very High
- ▲Small sample: 612 league minutes last season.
- ⚠League level coefficient 0.43 (1.00 = big-five average): output may not translate.
- ⚠Contract ends in 12 months: cheaper, but competition and wage demands likely.
- ⚠Projection range wider than for most evaluated players.
- ⚠Played under 40% of available league minutes (injury data unavailable, cause unknown).
- ⚠Declining trajectory versus previous season.
- ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
