The surplus: his 2026 WAR (0.0) × the price of a win ($3.6M), minus his 2026 guaranteed compensation, against other strikers. Commercial value (tickets, sponsors, media rights) is not counted.Salary$237KSurplus−$237KWAR paid0.07PAL: dimensions
Where WAR comes from (in wins)
Getting open and receiving the ball in dangerous areas.
Fouls drawn (free kicks, penalties won) minus fouls committed.
The value of his shots: the quality of the chance and what he makes of it.
Breaking up the opponent's play: tackles, interceptions, clearances, blocked shots.
How his passes change his team's chances of scoring and conceding.
Carrying the ball and beating defenders, minus the balls lost.
The parts above are measured against the position average. This adjustment moves the baseline to a fringe player in his group, prorated by minutes: positive when fringe players do worse than average, negative when they do better.
