Player Comparison :-

Kai Havertz v Marcus Rashford

Short Thread attempting to compare prospects and value..

RTs appreciated!

#footballindex
Both players have seen recent rises above ÂŁ6 and moved into the Top 10 highest priced players on the index. But are their prices justified, and who shows better value..?

Havertz' PB/MB from yesterday are included in the stats..
PB

I think it's fair to say both are pretty well matched when it comes to PB this season. The average of their top 5 scores are pretty much bang on the same. Rashford comes out with higher peaks and has won 3 positions 1 star. Havertz the 1 position 1 star yesterday..
MB

Undoubtedly under-appreciated by the market. Rashford has returned more in MB this season (not even inc double divs) than KDB and Kimmich's combined PB. Havertz clearly has MB potential but what are the prospects of future divs..
Prospects

I've attempted to estimate the possible divs that each could hope to earn in their careers. Some obvious assumptions had to be made. Use it as a base point and modify where you think I've over/under-estimated..
Rabbit hole: Just for fun I've tried to factor for FI's potential growth. This probably needs elaborating on in a separate thread, but if we expect div increases to follow price growth, these numbers are almost certainly conservative. Are proven youngsters underpriced..?!
Back to my div predictions..

Rashford is showing all the signs of becoming a top class striker for Man Utd and England. His MB appeal continues to rise and I think 75p/season is conceivable, especially if he becomes the main man for England for future major tournaments..
Havertz' career path is less clear. Odds are his next move is to Bayern. To earn 20p MB, he probably needs a move to the prem at some point. That or he becomes a Neymar/Messi level superstar (how much MB has Lewandowski won recently?). Expansion to Germany could play a big role🤔
Summary

Havertz has potential. Personally I'll be waiting to see where he's likely to move next and how his MB appeal changes before buying in again.

Rashford on the other hand is underpriced imo and the perfect med/long term hold given age, div output and prospects.
End of thread!
