Dashed line: current market value (€2.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Adrian Blake's performance-implied value at EUR 0.5M-2.9M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 1.0M-3.4M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 1.2M-6.4M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.80x the positional average in the league (971 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.

Acquisition note: Final year of contract: selling club's leverage is reduced.

Risk profile

Overall: Very High

  • ▲Projection range among the widest 10% of evaluated players.
  • ⚠Limited sample: 971 league minutes last season.
  • ⚠League level coefficient 0.43 (1.00 = big-five average): output may not translate.
  • ⚠Contract ends in 12 months: cheaper, but competition and wage demands likely.
  • ⚠Played under 40% of available league minutes (injury data unavailable, cause unknown).
  • ⓘInjury history unavailable from current data source.
