Value picture

Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.

Model value (performance-implied)€1.6M – €3.5M
Projected value (24 months)€504k – €1.8M
Dashed line: current market value (€1.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Danilo's performance-implied value at EUR 1.6M-3.5M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.6M-1.8M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.5M-1.8M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.67x the positional average in the league (834 minutes, league coefficient 0.31). 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. Market values, fees and contracts come from third-party sources; ranges are model estimates with stated confidence.
