  • Value: Van de Ven returns 25.0 points per £1m vs J.Timber's 24.8. Van de Ven is the better value pick, and the £1.6m price gap frees budget for upgrades elsewhere.

  • Transfer trend: Van de Ven has stronger transfer momentum (+14,135 net vs -43,869). The crowd is moving but no price change is imminent.
