Percentage of Transfers That Have Significantly Improved Their Stock
In 2023 there were 1843 DI players in the portal.
In 2024 there were 4343 DI players in the portal.
In 2025 there were 5438 DI players in the portal.
In 2026 there were 4939 DI players in the portal.
What percentage of those players would you estimate ended up making a significant contribution to their new team? I know "significant contribution" is in the eye of the beholder and that some of those guys went back to their former team. I am just interested, from a crowdsourcing standpoint, how many guys who transfer make a significant impact.
I am asking for a "friend" who is a UK fan and is desperately holding on to the fact that they wlll be back this coming season. :-)
After posting this I found this very good look at player movement and performance the following year for football and basketball.
