Player Value

Just seen the Premier League tweet, as they regularly do - about certain players' values based on a certain method/analysis they do.

Today they rated Rickie Lambert as being worth £6m.

So my question is, what would you value our players at one-by-one? (and be reasonable and fair!!)


DTLW

 

£6m for a 30 year old who has never played above the Championship seems very fair. That said, I'd be shocked if we accepted a £6m bid because he's worth more than that to us.

 

Dam you! I brought this up on the open topic thread!

 

That's the issue. I want to try and get people to honestly value the players, and not just say how much they are worth to us so we don't end up with silly fees like £100m for Lambert.

 

Very difficult because you have to weigh age and potential. Shaw and JWP for instance might IMO cost more than Rickie because of that.

 

But you also have to weigh current ability and I would say that Shaw and JWP's value should not yet be larger than Rickie's.

If we take Rickie at £6m as the bench mark where do we place others?

 

Rodriguez and Lallana probably 7 ish. Maybe 7.5 at a push

 

The apparently low price for Lambert probably based on lack of PL experience and age, but probably not far off the truth. Doubt Nicola would sell him for 6 million though, so there are two prices: realistic one and the one we'd sell for.

Lallana 6 million (S/P 10 million)
Cork 4/5 million (S/P 7 million)
Fox 4 million (S/P 5 million)
Spider 5 million (S/P 7 million)
Forecast 0 (S/P -1 million + tesco vouchers)

Have to point out that I am pulling these figures from thin air and will not defend them to the death.

 

I dunno. In League One, Lallana was clearly better than Chamberlain but we'd never have banked £15m for him.

 

Folks these values are for the premier league fantasy football, not actual values....

 

I know, but we are discussing what others should be if this is so!

 

I know, but i didnt think other people had realised because there was talk of values Cortese would sell them for haha..

 

Oh fair enough!

 

I was just suggesting values for our players, so adding what I thought would be acceptable to Cortese is valid.

 

Doesn't mention fantasy in the first post, I thought we were talking about transfer value?

 

For me.. in millions

Davis 5
Richardson 5.2
Fonte 5.5
Hooiveld 6
Fox 6.3
Guly 6
Schneiderlin 6
Cork 6.2
Lallana 7.5
Lambert 6
Rod 7.6

edit: completely forgot S Davis! 7

 

Ok I didn't explain clearly. Apologies.

This is the value placed upon Rickie Lambert in fantasy football. If he really was valued at £6m do you think that is fair? And what would you value others at?

For some perspective:

Suarez - £9.5m
Giroud - £9m
Tevez - £9m
Jelavic - £8.5m
Lambert - £6m
Pogrebnyak - £5m


Fair?

 

Prefer the thread I was on Usually avoid any threads with the words Fantasy Football in.

 

Fantasy is a joke. It has nothing to do with the transfer market values.

We wouldn't sell Lambert for under 20m I wouldn't have thought

 

Bet you we would!
