This paper not only compares the Multi Linear Regression model and Random Forest model to determine which one is better but investigates the important variables of the Market Value. Based on the results of this paper, it can be inferred that minutes that player played is the most important variables. In summary, with assessing the performance of the football player, the article gains insights into market value of the football player and help the football club utilize the funds more reasonably.
