The “biggest market value upgrades” lists (like Transfermarkt’s seasonal updates) track players whose estimated transfer values rose the most over the last season based on age, performance, minutes, and impact.
From the recent update you’re referring to (where Arda Güler is around 14th and Michael Olise is around 8th), the biggest risers across Europe were mainly young breakout stars and players who had a breakthrough season.
Key players with the biggest market value upgrades last season
1. Lamine Yamal (Spain)
One of the biggest jumps in world football. His rapid rise at Barcelona pushed him into elite valuation territory despite his age.
2. Florian Wirtz (Germany)
A major rebound after injury setbacks—his form for Bayer Leverkusen and Germany drove a sharp increase in value.
3. Michael Olise (France)
Moved from “high potential” to “elite attacker category” after his performances in the Premier League and Bayern Munich switch—hence his high ranking (around 8th).
4. Arda Güler (Turkey)
Significant rise due to increased role at Real Madrid and standout performances when fit—his technical ability and potential drove strong valuation growth (around 14th).
5. Cole Palmer (England)
Exploded in value after becoming a key attacking force at Chelsea, with goals, assists, and creative output.
6. Savinho (Brazil)
Big rise after strong performances in La Liga and move into top-level European football conversations.
7. Alejandro Garnacho (Argentina)
Regular starter status and improved end product at Manchester United boosted his valuation.
8. João Neves (Portugal)
One of the biggest midfield risers in Europe due to maturity, pressing ability, and composure beyond his age.
9. Warren Zaïre-Emery (France)
Paris Saint-Germain’s midfield talent saw a major jump after becoming a consistent starter.
10. Jude Bellingham (England)
Already elite, but still recorded an upward adjustment after his dominant debut season at Real Madrid.
Big picture
The common pattern behind all these upgrades:
- Young age (mostly under 23)
- Regular first-team football
- Strong performances in UCL or top leagues
- National team involvement
Players like Olise and Güler stand out because they moved from “talented prospects” into “key players for elite clubs,” which is where the biggest valuation jumps usually happen.
