How does player valuation work?

When a pundit backs a player like Igor Thiago, it can influence public perception and, indirectly, their market value. Players like Joao Pedro and Alexander Isak, mentioned as having injury struggles, might see their value fluctuate due to fitness concerns. A strong goalscoring season, as predicted for Thiago, typically boosts a player's worth significantly.
