Comparative analysis of squad market values across all 18 Liga MX clubs versus the top Latin American leagues and MLS. 465 players analyzed with public Transfermarkt data.
The client needed to understand the Liga MX talent market and its regional standing, including the total squad market value and player distribution across clubs. They also sought to compare Liga MX with other leagues, such as MLS and Brasileirão, to inform strategic business decisions. This required a comprehensive analysis of the market and its key players.
Data from Transfermarkt was collected and processed using Python, allowing for the extraction of key metrics such as squad market value and player nationalities. This data was then visualized with interactive ECharts charts to provide a clear and actionable understanding of the Liga MX talent market.
Liga MX ranks 4th in LATAM in terms of total squad market value, but boasts a higher average market value per club than MLS, with the most valuable club being CF América at €98.2M and the top player being Armando González at €15M. This suggests that Liga MX is more capital-efficient per club than MLS, despite having fewer clubs.
