Abstract

In this paper, market values of the football players in the forward positions are estimated using multiple linear regression by including the physical and performance factors in 2017-2018 season. Players from 4 major leagues of Europe are examined, and by applying the test for homoscedasticity, a reasonable regression model within 0.10 significance level is built, and the most and the least affecting factors are explained in detail.
