+x+x+xThose Transfermarkt values can't be used to directly compare leagues. You will find they are influenced by the football economy in the individual countries. Australian doesn't have an internal transfer system so our players are generally worth less than other 'top' Asian countries.
If the Australian players in the HAL were in demand by European Leagues, then they would be sort after.
The transfer market isn't just internal. It is global.
Transfer values are purely based on actual contract values and have nothing to do with performance. The price is based on how much it would cost to purchase player from a club including paying out a current contract at that point in time. Obviously there is some correlation between transfer value and player quality, but it's a very loose correlation and not close to being definitive.
I don't believe that is accurate.
Contract values are stipulated by retrospective performances, reputation, and what the market is willing to pay and offer in most cases.
Players can however fall out of form, but values can only be retrospective in nature as no one can predict the future.
Yes there is a lot of correlation between player values and quality.
