The model rates Josh Mulligan's performance-implied value at EUR 0.8M-2.5M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.3M-4.2M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.4M-4.8M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.56x the positional average in the league (1836 minutes, league coefficient 0.31). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
