The Brazilian prodigy outranks Lionel Messi and Paul Pogba. Data presented in issue number 172 of the Weekly Post is computed by means of the exclusive CIES Football Observatory transfer value algorithm. Since 2012, the CIES Football Observatory research team has developed a unique approach to estimate on a scientific basis the transfer value of professional football players. The statistical model through which fair prices are calculated includes multiple variables on player performance (minutes, goals, etc.) and characteristics (age, contract, etc.), as well as data on employer clubs and potential recruiting ones. The big-5 league player with the highest estimated transfer value is Neymar: 246.8 million €. The Barcelona's forward is clearly ahead teammate Lionel Messi (170.5 M €) and Paul Pogba (155.3 M €). Ten players have an estimated value of more than 100 M €. In the top 100 list are 42 players from the English Premier League. The highest values per position were recorded for Jan Oblak among goalkeepers (59.8 M €), Raphaël Varane among centre backs (64 M €), Héctor Bellerín among full backs (70.3 M €), Paul Pogba among central midfielders (155.3 M €), Dele Alli among attacking midfielders (110.5 M €) and Neymar among forwards (246.8 M €).
Nick Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 I think the algorithm malfunctioned when it got to Kane - great player but worth 139 million euros? Nah.

Nah. I think age and potential are factored in, lets hope any potential suitors for mahrez and vardy use it to cross reference their offer
Stadt Posted 16 January 2017 Posted 16 January 2017 Seems a bit hit and miss really those figures, I think qualitative factors are probably more important when it comes to transfer fees i.e. the buying club
