Ice Hockey and Football Player Valuation Model

A general player valuation model in ice hockey and football that would estimate player transfer price based on performace atributes as well as on personal and club atributes doesn't exist. There are no general rules on player transfer market that would set the player transfer price. The main aim of the dissertation thesis is to set up a model that would estimate player transfer price on the player market at a level when the selling club would earn at least the same amount that he invested to he player. Specific model for football and ice hockey is also introduced in the thesis. The specific model estimates transfer price based on the price of a same quality player abroad. General and specific models fit together. They form a guideline for sport managers, agents as well as for public while estimating player transfer price. The models are introduced, the transfer prices are estimated and compared with known transfer price on the player market. The major acquisition of the models is transparent price settng for player transfers, focusing on player transfers from Czech Republic abroad. The models are easily reversible for different collective sports
