Projected value (24 months)€1.4M – €5.0M
Dashed line: current market value (€2.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Hyun-ju Lee's performance-implied value at EUR 0.7M-2.7M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.3M-3.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.4M-5.0M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.28x the positional average in the league (2024 minutes, league coefficient 0.58). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
