Dashed line: current market value (€22.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Fábio Silva's performance-implied value at EUR 8.5M-43.1M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 17.3M-30.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 10.2M-29.3M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.88x the positional average in the league (805 minutes, league coefficient 0.94). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

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.
