The surplus: his 2026 WAR (-0.4) × the price of a win ($3.6M), minus his 2026 guaranteed compensation, against other attacking midfielders and wingers. Commercial value (tickets, sponsors, media rights) is not counted.Salary$3.0MSurplus−$4.5MWAR paid0.83PAL: dimensions
Where WAR comes from (in wins)
Carrying the ball and beating defenders, minus the balls lost.
The value of his shots: the quality of the chance and what he makes of it.
Fouls drawn (free kicks, penalties won) minus fouls committed.
Getting open and receiving the ball in dangerous areas.
Breaking up the opponent's play: tackles, interceptions, clearances, blocked shots.
How his passes change his team's chances of scoring and conceding.
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.
