Veikkausliiga update
Transfermarkt has updated the market values in the Finnish Veikkausliiga and updated around 312 player profiles as part of this. The previous market value leader Malik Abubakari from champions HJK Helsinki recorded a minus of 300,000 euros and from now on shares the position of the most valuable player in the league with Scottish center forward Lee Erwin, who has contributed 18 goals in 22 games by 200,000 euros screwed up – both players are now at 700,000 euros.

The biggest increase in terms of market value was achieved by Helsinki’s Santeri Väänänen with a plus of 400,000 euros: The 20-year-old midfielder, whose value is now estimated at 600,000 euros, is one of the high-flyers alongside Honka’s Agon Sadiku (goes from 400,000 to 600,000 euros). the season. The four-time Finland U21 international has rumored to have caught the eye of several Norwegian clubs with his performances, and his contract with HJK expires at the end of the season.

Together with the Helsinki trio Conor Hazard, Lucas Lingman, Miro Tenho and Paulo Ricardo (Kuopion Palloseura), Väänänen and Sadiku now have the second highest market value in the Veikkausliiga.

This is how the Transfermarkt market values work
The Transfermarkt market values are created taking into account various pricing models and a strong involvement of the Transfermarkt community, which deals with the values in detailed discussions. The transfer market market values are not to be equated with the transfer fees actually paid.
The goal is not to predict a price, but an expected value. When determining the market value, both individual transfer modalities and situational framework conditions are relevant to a certain extent. Examples of this are listed here. Transfermarkt does not use an algorithm (for detailed market value definition).
