Dashed line: current market value (€1.2M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Lyall Cameron's performance-implied value at EUR 0.5M-1.0M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.4M-1.2M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.5M-2.2M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.66x the positional average in the league (875 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.
