Aleksandr Sobolev
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Aleksandr Sobolev's performance-implied value at EUR 3.6M-11.8M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 2.2M-6.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.9M-5.8M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.74x the positional average in the league (1657 minutes, league coefficient 0.56). 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.
Bargain Index: 48

Risk profile
Overall: High
- ⚠Limited sample: 1657 league minutes last season.
- ⚠League level coefficient 0.56 (1.00 = big-five average): output may not translate.
- ⚠No continental-competition minutes last season.
- ⚠League level estimated mainly from squad values (few matches vs other leagues).
- ⚠Contract ends in 12 months: cheaper, but competition and wage demands likely.
- ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
