Projected value (24 months)€1.0M – €3.4M
Dashed line: current market value (€4.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Romain Faivre's performance-implied value at EUR 1.2M-2.7M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.2M-3.2M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.0M-3.4M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.12x the positional average in the league (583 minutes, league coefficient 0.88). Confidence is low: 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.

Risk profile

Overall: Very High

  • ▲Small sample: 583 league minutes last season.
  • ⚠No continental-competition minutes last season.
  • ⚠Contract ends in 12 months: cheaper, but competition and wage demands likely.
  • ⚠Projection range wider than for most evaluated players.
  • ⚠Played under 40% of available league minutes (injury data unavailable, cause unknown).
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
