Guedes’ influence goes beyond his 11 goals scored

Gonçalo Guedes is by far Valencia’s most influential footballer and the fourth striker in La Liga. His impact on the Bordalás team goes beyond the record of 11 goals and 5 assists that he has signed so far in the championship. The Portuguese, say the data of Artificial Intelligence (AI), leads all the offensive registers that are taken into account when giving value to a game action for its influence in achieving a goal. Thus, Guedes has contributed this season in 9.07 goals more than Valencia than the probability ventured when the course began.

Guedes, who according to the variables has been one of the three most influential footballers in Valencia in 11 of the 29 games played, leads the stock ranking of passes, fouls received, second plays, foot shots, shot selection, driving, finishing, headed goals, foot goals, successful passes and driving. It should be noted that what the Artificial Intelligence calculates is not the number of repetitions of these actions but the impact of them on the goals (42) of the team.

Guedes, as has been pointed out, occupies fourth place in the ranking of the most influential footballers in the championship in terms of goals scored by their respective teams, a list headed by Vinicius, Benzema and Juanmi. After all, with the cold statistics in hand, Guedes is going through by far his most thrashed season in the elite, where he had not exceeded five goals in a course and what the AI ​​values ​​constant is that Bordalás has achieved that Guedes be team leader.

Its market value grows this year and would begin to drop next year

Guedes, therefore, has revalued himself this season, which was one of Valencia’s objectives when he refused to transfer him last summer. Its market value has grown from 30 to 40 million according to Transfermarkt and from 22 to 26.7 according to Olocip. In this sense, the AI ​​would advise the transfer of Guedes next summer, since his influence will be maintained for next season, although it predicts that it will reduce his economic value by 9 million.

The Portuguese, who has two years remaining on his contract, is one of the names that appear in Valencia’s starting box to balance the accounts. It should be remembered that Valencia shows losses of more than 60 million euros and its budget included an item for the sale of assets for an amount of profit (not counting what must be reduced from the amortization of each footballer that could be transferred) over 35 million.
