Abu Francis
Value picture
Where the market, the likely price and the model estimates sit.
The model rates Abu Francis's performance-implied value at EUR 1.4M-4.0M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.9M-2.8M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.9M-3.2M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.62x the positional average in the league (532 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.
