  • Modelling the Financial Contribution of Soccer Players to Their Clubs
    Journal of Sports Analytics 5 (2019) 23–34 23 DOI 10.3233/JSA-170235 IOS Press Modelling the financial contribution of soccer players to their clubs Olav Drivenes Sæbøa and Lars Magnus Hvattumb,∗ aDepartment of Industrial Economics and Technology Management, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway bFaculty of Logistics, Molde University College, Norway Abstract. This paper presents a framework for evaluating the financial consequences of player transfers as seen from a club’s perspective. To this end, an objective player rating model is designed based on players’ contribution towards creating a positive goals differential for their team. A regression model is then applied to predict match outcomes as a function of the players involved in a match. Finally, Monte Carlo simulation is used to predict the final league standings and the financial gains obtained as a function of sporting success. The framework is illustrated on player transfers from the 2014-2015 English Premier League season. Keywords: association, football, rating, simulation, regression 1.
