Market‑value soccer ratings

A predictive rating system (PELE) that fuses traditional match‑result Elo methods with current player market values, ages, tactical tilt metrics, and historical regional data to generate continuously updated quality and projection scores for all 211 FIFA teams. It is explicitly built for prediction (not just retrospective ranking) and will drive World Cup forecasts, real‑time team narratives, and potentially betting and investment decisions. — This formalizes a new class of sports forecasts that privilege market signals and lineup composition, changing how fans, media, federations, and markets interpret short‑term results versus underlying team strength.
