Dashed line: current market value (€20.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Evan Ferguson's performance-implied value at EUR 10.6M-29.4M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 15.3M-27.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 11.1M-37.0M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.80x the positional average in the league (776 minutes, league coefficient 0.93). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
