Transfermarkt calculates a player's market value using a qualitative approach and say the goal is to estimate the value of a player in a free market, not to predict a specific transfer fee.
While some of the numbers can be skewed or inflated to what you’d normally associate with an Irish League transfer fee, it’s still a good indication to who they feel are the star players at each club.
Using their market values system, here are who they view as the ‘most valuable player’ at all 12 Premiership clubs.
9. Ballymena United - Ben Kennedy
Ben Kennedy started this season on fire and has scored 12 goals in 20 Premiership appearances since joining the Sky Blues from Crusaders last summer. He has missed their last three league matches through suspension and is set to return later this month. Photo: Pacemaker

Matthew Snoddy has been a consistent Irish League performer for many years, winning silverware with Crusaders before moving to Glenavon. He has made 25 league appearances this term, scoring a dramatic equaliser against Coleraine. Photo: Alan Weir/Pacemaker Press
11. Carrick Rangers - Danny Gibson
Danny Gibson scored 17 league goals in his first season at Carrick last term and is their top scorer once again this time around, netting six. He will have a key role to play through the rest of this campaign as Stephen Baxter's side look to climb clear of relegation threat. Photo: Andrew McCarroll/Pacemaker Press
12. Loughgall - Tiernan Kelly
Tiernan Kelly is a consistent presence in Loughgall's midfield with only Jamie Rea and Ben Murdock making more passes this term for the Villagers. He also enjoys a tackle and putting pressure on opponents - no player has picked up more yellow cards (11) this season than Kelly. Photo: David Maginnis
