The model rates Andrija Bulatovic's performance-implied value at EUR 1.2M-11.9M, below the estimated acquisition range of EUR 6.8M-16.8M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 5.2M-29.5M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 1.20x the positional average in the league (753 minutes, league coefficient 0.88). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.
