Hi, I've noticed that some players have salaries diverging by a lot, even though their Skill Sum is similar. I assume one of the reasons is when a player has one or two exclusively large skills compared to a player which has more evenly trained skills.
Are there more determinants, which explain the difference in the salaries of similar players?

So basically the main skills needed for that position are more expensive than secondary skills? Where can I read more about that?

EDIT: So here are two players from the market:

The first player has two legendaries and one colossal, so why the salary of the 2nd player is so much bigger?

Thanks for your answer! So for now I am planning to train bigs (C/PF), what would you suggest me to do to keep salaries as low as possible, but also not damaging the efficiency of a player?
