Transfermarkt.de: Reggae Boyz Worth 14.5 Million Euros

[Bruce]

Jamaica's national team is worth an estimated 14.5 million euros on the transfer market, according to www.transfermarkt.de. More than half of that value is assigned to three players: Adrian Mariappa, Rodolph Austin, and Luton Shelton, who are worth almost a combined 9 million euros.

Adrian Mariappa has a value of 4 million euros , Rodolph Austin 2.5 million and Luton Shelton 2.4 million.


The value of Jamaica's players is dwarfed by Mexico (75.5 million euros),and the USA (59.3 million). Honduras (18.3 million) and Costa Rica (14.3 million are close to Jamaica. Panama has a value of a paltry 1.3 million.

The tally does not include the players who recently committed to Jamaica. Daniel Gordon has a value of 350,000 euros, up from 200,000 at the start of the season.

The transfer value of the other CONCACAF finalists are:

Mexico 75.5 million euros
USA- 59.3 million
Costa Rica - 14.3 million
Honduras 18.3 million
Panama - 1.3 million

Yet another piece to aid your statistical puzzle....now you can factor in player value in your team selection decision making

After all, what's more objective than money??

Performance is more objective than money, money is based on future promise or performance in the past which is not indicative of present value. Present value in real time is what we desire most in evaluation and eventual selection.

[Don1]

Oh really?

By that reasoning you should discount all performance except the most current. Yet you repeatedly cite dated performance stats to buttress your selections

Internal inconsistency

[Stonigut]

Current performance means performance during current or last season of play.

Relax and smell the air, Don1.
