Where the +59 skill term comes from
Not a reputation, a measurement. We score every shot in the data ourselves and rank him among minutes-qualified peers; a fixed arithmetic turns that rank into points.
- measured
- 7.03 possession-adjusted defensive actions per 90 (tackles + interceptions + blocks)
- his rank
- 100th percentile of qualified peers
- scored from
- recent club seasons (api-football), an individual box-stat proxy, possession-adjusted; volume, not a quality verdict
- the arithmetic
- 46 pts/σ × z(99.9th) = 46 × 3.19 × 0.4 (position weight) = +59
Where the +28 was earned
The earned line, opened up by competition. World Cup finals count 1.5×, qualifiers and cups 1×, friendlies and club football half, so a tournament night moves him most.

Each night’s move blends his team’s result with his own match stats, saves for keepers, tackles and duels for defenders, creation for midfielders, finishing up front. “Team result only” marks games where the feed carried no player stats.
A forward-only shadow signal, as of 2026-06-04. The skill term comes from our own xG models over the open archive; the rest is earned, recorded per appearance, auditable, never back-filled. It never moves a live call.

What he’d cost · our estimate
€19m–€74m ≈ €37m
Not a figure from any valuation site; we don’t republish those. Our own model: the level he plays at, what we’ve measured of him, his age and his role. A band, not a point: we can’t see contract length or release clauses, the two biggest real drivers, so we say so.
