Financial
Club Analysis

Pay smarter. Win longer. Align salaries with real sporting value.

Miniatura5.png

Main Objetive

Detect inefficiencies and optimize a football club’s wage structure by aligning salaries with each player’s real and potential sporting impact. The algorithm promotes resource efficiency and sustainable squad planning oriented toward long-term success.

The Problem

The Old Way

SALARY DECISIONS DRIVEN BY INTUITION OR BIAS
NO LINK BETWEEN PAY AND SPORTING VALUE
CONTRACTS SHAPED BY PERCEPTION OR MEDIA PRESSURE
MISSED MARKET OPPORTUNITIES WITHOUT DATA
NO LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
HIDDEN INEFFICIENCIES IN WAGE STRUCTURE

The New Way

OBJECTIVE DETECTION OF UNDERPAID AND OVERPAID PLAYERS
SALARY ALIGNED WITH PERFORMANCE AND VALUE
DATA-DRIVEN CONTRACT STRATEGY
MARKET OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH VALUE ANALYSIS
FINANCIAL PLANNING INTEGRATED IN SQUAD MANAGEMENT
TRANSPARENT SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE-LINKED WAGES

Technical Description

Player Vector Construction

Each player is encoded as a feature vector xp∈Rnx_p \in \mathbb{R}^nxp​∈Rn containing salary, contract, and performance variables.

CPI Calculation (Cost-Performance Index)

The algorithm computes:

is the estimated performance and SPlayer(p)S_{\text{Player}}(p)SPlayer​(p) is the gross annual salary.

Salary-Performance Regression

Time series models and regression are applied to evaluate how salary evolves with performance metrics over time.

Clustering and Segmentation

Players are grouped into cost performance profiles using unsupervised learning, enabling structured comparison across segments.

Details:

  • Salary vs. ELO bubble plot (X: salary, Y: performance) with clear “efficient zone”

  • Clustering by CPI zones (green = efficient, red = overpaid, yellow = undervalued)

  • Squad salary allocation with optimization indicators

The Financial Club Analysis Algorithm transforms your squad into a dynamic portfolio of assets—quantifying real and projected performance against wage impact.
