Swiss_tony Posted 5 March 2015 Share Posted 5 March 2015 Found this fascinating link. We have the second cheapest assembled squad in the PL what's even more remarkable is that with a few exceptions such as villa, look how closeley squad value matches league position. http://www.transfermarkt.com/premier-league/startseite/wettbewerb/GB1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_w Posted 5 March 2015 Share Posted 5 March 2015 If this is up to date then it suggests we were below Burnley pre-January doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes_rule1978 Posted 5 March 2015 Share Posted 5 March 2015 Says it all, don't spend in the PL and you are sure to fail. At least when relegated we will be in a great position to go straight up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 6 March 2015 Share Posted 6 March 2015 If this is up to date then it suggests we were below Burnley pre-January doesn't it? I'd have thought so. People think that Burnley's squad was build on a shoestring but ours wasn't when in reality Burnley have been spending their parachute payments quite a bit. We've been unable to shake off the Sven tag of "Big Spending Leicester" purely because of lazy journalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 6 March 2015 Share Posted 6 March 2015 So how is market value worked out? It's not on the cost of a player is it? Looks like teams not doing well their players automatically have a lower "market" value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's saying we have the second cheapest "market value" squad. Not sure what this actually means? Edit: yeah just double-checked. I think It's saying how much it thinks each player is worth, not how much they cost. For example, Huth 5m, Morgan 2m, Schmiecal 3.5m so a player's worth will be closely aligned with a team's league position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadaukfox Posted 8 March 2015 Share Posted 8 March 2015 I think theres a typo. Surely Morgan 2m should be Morgan 2p? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
