Resumo(s)
Our groups’ work revolves around the football transfer markets with a focus on the Portuguese Football Association. Iinvestigate the importance of Portuguese most valuable football players within the international football transfer markets and show the key egos in this network. The relevant data is retrieved from transfermarkt.de using a web scraper and processed with analytical tools from the Num Py and pandas library. The social network is analyzed making use of the visualization and exploration software Gephi. I show the importance of SL Benfica, Sporting CP, and FC Porto, as well as Gestifute in the network. The typical path and development of a Portuguese MVPs market value is found to be determined by the previously mentioned clubs and player agent, as well as British Premier League teams, and his position on the pitch.
