When it comes to sports It is always controversial to decide which are the most valuable players of a league. Most are driven by passion and the team they support, but the reality is that there are a number of factors that objectively play a role when it comes to listing the highlights. That was precisely the task entrusted to a Artificial Intelligence (AI) who decided what are the 5 most valuable footballers in the European League.
The CIES Football Observatory is in charge of analyzing the professional soccer from different angles and developed a algorithm to qualify the players of the five most important teams in the league european. Considering their performance match by match, and other key factors, the top 5 of the most relevant athletes was created for their transfer values. Here are the details.
The HE has estimated that the star of the Manchester City, Phil Foden, is the most valuable player din the five major soccer leagues of Europe. The model of the CIES Football Observatory concluded that the 21-year-old player is worth a whopping 190 million euros, the equivalent of 2.319 million dollars in the transfer market.
In the second and third place, the algorithm placed the teammates of the Manchester United, from England, Mason Greenwood, with a value of 178 million euros, and Marcus Rashford with 159 million euros.

In turn, the forward of the German team Borussia Dortmund, Erling Haaland achieved a value of 155 million euros, placing it in fourth place on the list that the organization develops every six months.
Finally the top five is completed with Bruno Fernandes, also from Manchester United, with a value of 154 million euros.
Other data highlighted by the report include that only three of the 20 soccer players from the Big leagues with a transfer value estimated of more than 100 million euros are over 25 years: Bruno Fernandes, Timo Werner and Bernardo Silva.
On the other hand, Ederson Moraes has the highest estimated value for goalkeepers, reaching 62 million euros.

The classification process
According to the CIES Football Observatory, they reached these results after having trained an artificial intelligence to, in addition to estimating performance, career progression and the age of a player, to consider other variables that include the duration of the contract of the player. player and the level of the league in which he plays.
It is important to make this precision because many could begin to complain that big names in the league do not appear at the top of the ranking. In fact, just to mention one example, the phenomenon of Paris Saint Germain, Kylian Mbappé, has not reached the top 10, he was placed in 12th place and his value was calculated at 118.3 million euros. The reason for this is that, at just 22 years old, the forward is already one of the best players in the sport, but his current contract expires next summer, significantly lowering his transfer value.
It is also necessary to point out that the ratings of the players through the technology They are far from an exact science, although the CIES list seems plausible enough, its true accuracy can only be judged after the big five transfer windows open this summer.
