Dashed line: current market value (€2.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Gue-sung Cho's performance-implied value at EUR 1.7M-5.8M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.1M-2.9M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.9M-3.2M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.52x the positional average in the league (766 minutes, league coefficient 0.47). 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.
