Analysis of the Football Transfer Market Network — •Tobias Wand — WWU Münster — CeNoS Münster

Football clubs buy and sell players for millions of Euros and until Covid, their combined transfer values were growing steadily at an impressive rate. Instead of analysing their aggregated transfer activities, one can take a look at the topology of the network of player transfers: complex networks have already been used in various sciences [1] including research on sports [2] and provide a novel approach to investigate the football transfer market network and in particular the impact of Covid on football clubs.
