Resumen

El presente estudio se enmarca en el contexto de la industria de espectáculos deportivos, partedel sector del entretenimiento. El talento deportivo, así como la visibilidad mediática que otorgadicho talento, son activos valiosos y a menudo no replicables, que explotan los clubs de fútbol.En este artículo, de naturaleza empírica, usamos una amplia base de datos de futbolistasde las cinco grandes ligas domésticas de Europa, abarcando de la temporada 2014/2015a la 2018/2019, ambas incluidas. Los resultados permiten corroborar – en sintonía contrabajos precedentes – que los jugadores con mayor capacidad de atraer la atención de losmedios gozan de mayor valor de mercado y reciben más oportunidades de jugar, indicandoque los entrenadores valoran no sólo el rendimiento deportivo, sino también las implicacionesmediáticas y económicas.Entre los resultados, se constata que existe un subempleo sistemático de talento en la industriade espectáculos futbolísticos, en tanto en cuanto las restricciones del sistema competitivo,que limitan el número de jugadores y cambios por partido, impiden dar oportunidades de jugara algunos de los jugadores; situación que se acrecienta al concentrar demasiado talento en lamisma plantilla, con lo que se merma la capacidad global de proporcionar espectáculo.
