Projected value (24 months)€1.3M – €3.9M
Dashed line: current market value (€2.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Facundo Cáseres's performance-implied value at EUR 0.5M-1.3M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.1M-3.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.3M-3.9M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.35x the positional average in the league (2200 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.
