Dashed line: current market value (€1.4M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Luka Ilic's performance-implied value at EUR 0.9M-3.1M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.4M-1.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.5M-1.9M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.34x the positional average in the league (738 minutes, league coefficient 0.95). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
