# FootVal — Football Transfer Values & Player Valuations

> FootVal is an independent football (soccer) valuation platform. It estimates the transfer value
> (Turkish: *bonservis değeri*) of every player in Europe's 21 top divisions with a transparent,
> explainable algorithm, then shows exactly where that estimate disagrees with the market. Content
> is available in 5 languages: English, Turkish, German, French and Spanish.

## What FootVal provides

- **Player valuations** — an independent estimated transfer value for each player, with a per-factor
  breakdown (performance, age, contract, durability, reputation, form), a "vs market" delta, and a
  confidence score. This per-factor breakdown + market-delta is the core differentiator vs Transfermarkt.
- **Club squad values** and **league rankings** across the 21 top European divisions.
- **National-team squads** valued by total transfer value (useful for World Cup / tournament context).
- **Transfer news & rumours** from monitored journalists, with a reliability rating on every item.

## Methodology (so citations are accurate)

- Market-anchored mispricing model: `value = market value × exp(clamped Σ weightᵢ·ln(factorᵢ))`,
  bounded to roughly market × [0.5, 1.86].
- Performance is a *mispricing* signal: a player outperforming their price percentile within their
  position/tier cohort is flagged **undervalued**; underperforming is **overvalued**; aligned ≈ market.
- Players with no statistics are treated as **neutral**, never weak.
- Values are independent estimates produced by FootVal’s algorithm — **not** actual transfer fees or offers.
