Model value (performance-implied)€360k – €728k
Projected value (24 months)€84k – €202k
Dashed line: current market value (€200k). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Nélson Oliveira's performance-implied value at EUR 0.4M-0.7M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.1M-0.3M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.1M-0.2M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.54x the positional average in the league (1315 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.

Acquisition note: Contract end date unavailable: range widened by 15% each side.
