Dashed line: current market value (€7.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Başar Önal's performance-implied value at EUR 0.6M-2.9M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 4.9M-12.2M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 4.0M-16.3M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.01x the positional average in the league (2070 minutes, league coefficient 0.43). Confidence is medium: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
