Projected value (24 months)€667k – €1.8M
Dashed line: current market value (€1.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Matheus Pereira's performance-implied value at EUR 0.5M-1.4M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.6M-1.8M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.7M-1.8M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.83x the positional average in the league (720 minutes, league coefficient 0.58). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

MoneyballAI identifies statistical opportunities from available data. A player flagged as a potential bargain is not guaranteed to succeed, to transfer, to rise in value, or to generate resale profit.
