Abstract

This paper introduces an original multivariate model developed to value English Premier League (EPL) clubs. Prior to developing the model, established valuation

Keywords: Valuation Models, Multiple Regression, Intangible Assets, Cash Flow Modeling, Sports Economics, Alternative Assets

Complexity vs Empirical Score

• Math Complexity: 2.0/10
• Empirical Rigor: 3.5/10
• Quadrant: Philosophers
• Why: The paper compares established valuation techniques (DCF, multiples) with a new multivariate model for football clubs, but the excerpt shows only conceptual discussion and descriptive statistics, lacking advanced mathematical derivations or backtest-ready implementation details.
