I always look for Rep (relative to club played for, a high rep player at a low rep club is going to be nice!), Aq Fee (ability) and finally stats (will give you a clue as to the type of player).
I did this more really for the sake of my own sanity! I bagged a £1m household name at 29 in Beta for £1.4m and got to thinking is that expensive or not?
Comments on Players
Household Names - These players are the regular match winners or as defenders will almost never make a mistake and are amazingly consistent.
World Famous - Either consistent or occasional match winning performance. You might see the odd mistake at the back but it's going to be rare.
High Profile - Great players above average in every respect.
Well Known - Your bread and butter type rep can be quite variable so these can easily turn into High Profile. They should be VERY cheap!

This is one of the real problems i find with the game is not nowing values this should help thanks
You don't know me but I stumbled across your site.
Interesting stuff - one thing that jumps out is that it doesn't take into account the wage increases through a players development (just because you sign a 5* potential player for £10k wages doesn't mean he'll be on £10k for his entire apprenticeship), and it doesn't penalise for overpaying (signing a 5* youth who will peak by age 21 for £96k doesn't cost the same as signing a 5* 21 year old for £16.5m unless the latter player is also on £96k a week).
I made my own version based on yours, but ammended with the above two points in mind. I get sensible results for 4.5*/5*, but my method falls down for 3.5* players. Not having a better model, I assumed that a players wage demand increases linearly through his apprenticeship, but I'm reasonably sure this is a poor approximation (I haven't been playing FML long enough to determine a correct model).
Do you have a suggestion for the model (or, in fact, is the approximate formula public knowledge?). Ideally I'd like to redo my version knowing how wage demand varies, and then assume that a players wage lags behind wage demand by 1-2 years.
Cheers.
