Dashed line: current market value (€25k). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Lasse Nielsen's performance-implied value at EUR 0.0M-0.2M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.0M-0.0M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.0M-0.1M. 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: Very High

  • ▲Age 38: resale value typically declines.
  • ▲Projection range among the widest 10% of evaluated players.
  • ⚠Limited sample: 1690 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.
  • ⚠Declining trajectory versus previous season.
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
