Simulation Model of Football Player’s Market Value

This work is dedicated to the development of the simulation model of the player’s transfer value change during the career. Topicality of this research sphere and practical significance of developed model are revealed in this work. The aim of the research is the development of the model, which is able to descript the process of the football player’s transfer value change. There are several stages in this research. During all of them all the tasks of the work are completed. Thus, during the first stage the review of the researches and solutions concerning to the gathering and analysis of the statistical data of footballers’ performances was made. Then the theoretical basis, which allows successful developing of the simulation model, was formed. During the second stage the relational database for saving statistical data was created. Then the statistical analysis of the data was performed with the usage of different methods. The mathematical model, which describes the football player’s transfer valuation, was developed. During the third stage the simulation model was created and several test runs were made. All the stages of the research were supported with the theoretical facts from the thematic literature and were fully described in details. The work value is 65 pages. There are 3 appendixes and 36 literary sources. The work consists of 3 parts: introduction, main body (3 chapters) and conclusion.
