Model value (performance-implied)€593k – €1.3M
Projected value (24 months)€602k – €2.5M
Dashed line: current market value (€1.5M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Malcolm Viltard's performance-implied value at EUR 0.6M-1.3M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.7M-1.8M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.6M-2.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.43x the positional average in the league (2109 minutes, league coefficient 0.65). 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.
