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

The model rates Oleksandr Karavaev's performance-implied value at EUR 0.2M-1.3M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.2M-0.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.2M-0.7M. Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

  • ▲Age 34: resale value typically declines.
  • ⚠Limited sample: 1530 league minutes last season.
  • ⚠Projection range wider than for most evaluated players.
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
