What Footballers Earn is a programmatic-data reference for footballer salaries, market values, and on-pitch output. We publish a profile for every player we have verified data on.
What We Track
Weekly wages
Verified where public filings exist, and estimated with a transparent percentile band when they don’t.
Market value
Current and peak Transfermarkt valuations, updated each sync run.
On-pitch output
Appearances, minutes, goals, assists, and derived metrics like earnings-per-goal and earnings-per-90 from the FBref 2025/26 season feed.
Our Mission
Transparency
Every number has a named source. Every estimate carries an explicit percentile band and bucket label.
Zero-click accuracy
Titles and meta descriptions are written so search-engine snippets contain accurate numeric answers without requiring a click.

We aim to cover every player with a verified market value globally.
