Market value in Kickbase is based on supply and demand among all users and is updated daily around 10 PM (CET).

Which factors influence the market value?

  • Purchases above market value:
    If a player is frequently bought in many leagues for a price higher than their current market value, their value increases.

  • Unsold players:
    If a player leaves the transfer market without being purchased by any manager, it puts downward pressure on their value.

  • Sales to Kickbase:
    When a player is sold back to Kickbase, it affects the value too, since the available supply on the transfer market decreases.

  • Transfers between leagues:
    Players who used to play in the 1st Bundesliga but whose clubs now play in the 2nd Bundesliga typically have a higher market value, as better performance is expected.

  • New players in Kickbase:
    When new players are added, their initial value is determined based on stats, past performances, and overall interest.
