Koen Kostons
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Koen Kostons's performance-implied value at EUR 0.6M-1.9M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.6M-1.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.7M-2.4M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.06x the positional average in the league (2888 minutes, league coefficient 0.43). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
