  • Soccerex Transfer Review 2016
    ! Soccerex Transfer Review Summer 2016 Premier League Clubs Count Cost of Unsuccessful Signings Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are the biggest culprits when it comes to over-spending on players, according to the Soccerex Transfer Review by Prime Time Sport. Memphis Depay, Christian Benteke and Son Heung Min represented the most unsuccessful signings from last season, based on league minutes played and the transfer fee paid. Depay joined Manchester United for "34m from PSV Eindhoven in May 2015 but has struggled to hold down a first-team place at Old Trafford and has only managed two league goals in 30 appearances. Belgium striker Benteke endured a frustrating single season at Anfield as he only managed nine league goals before being shipped out to Crystal Palace, while Son Heung Min has not featured regularly enough at White Hart Lane to justify his "30m transfer fee. Manchester United lead the way in terms of over-spending on players over the last four years, with the "75m signing of Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid in 2014 rated the biggest disappointment according to a lack of league minutes played. The fleet-footed Argentina winger was never an integral part of Louis Van Gaal’s reign at Old Trafford and was eventually shipped out to Paris Saint Germain after a single season at the Theatre of Dreams. Marouane Fellaini is the other Manchester United player to make the list, despite the Belgium international being part of Jose Mourinho’s encouraging start in the Old Trafford hot seat. In addition to Benteke, Liverpool also have Lazar Markovic and Mario Balotelli in the top ten and all three have since departed the club either on loan or via a permanent transfer.

  • Computational Estimation of Football Player Wages
    International Journal of Computer Science in Sport Volume 1 6, Issue 1, 2017 Journal homepage: http://iacss.org/index.php?id=30 DOI: 10.1515/ijcss-2017-0002 Computational Estimation of Football Player Wages Yaldo, L., Shamir, L. Lawrence Technological University Abstract The wage of a football player is a function of numerous aspects such as the player’s skills, performance in the previous seasons, age, trajectory of improvement, personality, and more. Based on these aspects, salaries of football players are determined through negotiation between the team management and the agents. In this study we propose an objective quantitative method to determine football players’ wages based on their skills. The method is based on the application of pattern recognition algorithms to performance (e.g., scoring), behavior (e.g., aggression), and abilities (e.g., acceleration) data of football players. Experimental results using data from 6,082 players show that the Pearson correlation between the predicted and actual salary of the players is ∼0.77 (p < .001). The proposed method can be used as an assistive technology when negotiating players salaries, as well as for performing quantitative analysis of links between the salary and the performance of football players. The method is based on the performance and skills of the players, but does not take into account aspects that are not related directly to the game such as the popularity of the player among fans, predicted merchandise sales, etc, which are also factors of high impact on the salary, especially in the case of the team lead players and superstars. Analysis of player salaries in eight European football leagues show that the skills that mostly affect the salary are largely consistent across leagues, but some differences exist.
