Our Value for Money Score provides an analysis on how a players’ on-field ability is likely to develop over the course of his career and reflect on his transfer market value.
A player’s attributes vary with age in different ways. For example, a player’s dribbling ability starts to decay at an earlier age than their passing ability.
Each player’s score for each metric is then projected into the future based on how the metric values tend to increase or decrease as players gets older.
