Projected value (24 months)€3.3M – €10.3M
Dashed line: current market value (€7.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Artem Karpukas's performance-implied value at EUR 1.4M-10.0M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 3.0M-8.0M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 3.3M-10.3M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.70x the positional average in the league (2145 minutes, league coefficient 0.56). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

Acquisition note: Final year of contract: selling club's leverage is reduced.

Risk profile

Overall: High

  • ⚠League level coefficient 0.56 (1.00 = big-five average): output may not translate.
  • ⚠No continental-competition minutes last season.
  • ⚠League level estimated mainly from squad values (few matches vs other leagues).
  • ⚠Contract ends in 12 months: cheaper, but competition and wage demands likely.
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
