Model value (performance-implied)€447k – €1.5M
Projected value (24 months)€349k – €947k
Dashed line: current market value (€1.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Simon Mignolet's performance-implied value at EUR 0.4M-1.5M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.3M-1.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.3M-0.9M. Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

Acquisition note: Contract end date unavailable: range widened by 15% each side.

MoneyballAI identifies statistical opportunities from available data. A player flagged as a potential bargain is not guaranteed to succeed, to transfer, to rise in value, or to generate resale profit.
