According to transfermarkt, Fotis Ioannidis (Pana, 25) and Giannis Konstantelias (PAOK, 21) are the most valuable players in the Greek league.

According to transfermarkt, Fotis Ioannidis (Pana, 25) and Giannis Konstantelias (PAOK, 21) are the most valuable players in the Greek league.

Ioannidis is 24 y.o. (born Jan. 2000).

I never got around the process TM assigns "value".
Levi Garcia spends half the season injured and can't play two games in a week.
If he's worth 15 mln. then Ioannidis should be worth twice that.

Kristoffer Velde hasn't shown jack all at Olympiakos so far, just another entry in the stat sheet.
If he's worth 9 mln. then Konstantelias should be valued above 50!

More to the point of this thread, two former ManU boys have changed to the Greek Superleague this summer!

Facundo Pellistri, 22, RW, Panathinaikos


Shola Shoretire, 20, LW, PAOK


Shola has impressed me, he plays much more mature than his age suggests and is tactically disciplined.
Apparently he's also impressed PAOK coach Lucescu, who started him in a league game already (normally it takes months) and found a spot for him on the list for the EL league phase.

Good morning! Ioannidis was born on 10 January 2000, so he is almost 25 years old. Yes, the value that transfermarkt gives doen't make much sense, but it's interesting following how it increases/decreases for a player through the seasons.
