Is this a real market valuation?
No. It is a transparent toy model showing how factors like age, contract length and form push a fee up or down. Real valuations involve clubs, agents, demand and a lot of negotiation.

value = base × age factor × contract factor × form factor — illustrative
Frequently asked questions
Why does contract length matter so much?
Because a player with under a year left can leave for free soon, so their selling club has little leverage and the fee collapses. A long contract protects the value.
Why does value peak in the mid-twenties?
Because that is typically a player's prime: proven ability with years still ahead. Younger players carry uncertainty; older ones have fewer seasons left, so the model tapers value after the late twenties.
What is the form index?
A simple multiplier where 1.0 is average. Above 1 reflects a hot streak that inflates value; below 1 a slump that deflates it.
Why include this if it is not real?
Because it makes the logic of the transfer market visible. The direction each factor pushes value is realistic, even though the exact figure is illustrative.
