Dashed line: current market value (€500k). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Marko Sapuga's performance-implied value at EUR 0.2M-0.4M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.2M-0.5M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.3M-0.9M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.65x the positional average in the league (778 minutes, league coefficient 0.25). 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.
