Dashed line: current market value (€2.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Mads Emil Madsen's performance-implied value at EUR 0.7M-2.2M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.8M-3.1M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.2M-2.6M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.65x the positional average in the league (1330 minutes, league coefficient 0.47). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

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.
