Math question -> Curves

Im working on a excel spreadsheet that can shows the price ranges of a Goalkeeper. I have ran into one problem, and that is a lack of data. However, I believe that I can Extrapolate a good amount of the data rather accurately. My question concerns A curve. The range of prices is a curve. Meaning a player with a skill of 1 has a lot bigger range of prices than a skill of 6. Can someone give me a formula that will allow me to predict the curve?

Well, it depends. What kindof curve do you want? First order (straight line), Second order (parabola), or what (equations start getting funky after that)?

SI

I'd guess the function you're looking for would be along the lines of:

A + B ln x

A,B -- coefficients you would have to work out
ln -- the natural log
x -- skill

In your formula, 'A' is not a coefficient, it is a constant, as it has no variable.
