Dashed line: current market value (€7.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Ryan Yates's performance-implied value at EUR 8.9M-13.6M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 2.6M-7.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 2.4M-6.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.17x the positional average in the league (603 minutes, league coefficient 1.30). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
