I wouldn’t trust cies, they have some odd choices, for example awb was more valuable than the Liverpool fullbacks, and I think most utd fans would happily swap him for one if that two as they are frankly, better.

They also have us above PSG, and just behind Chelsea. Apart from that, the PL order is more or less what you would expect.

Bit pointless playing games really. Just give the title to the team with the highest value.

Ed, get spending.

I’m not sure I would. Liverpool’s full back are currently better but also play in a better side. AWB is improving his attacking play and I’m struggling to think of a better defender at full back.

He’s a superb defender, but their two fullbacks are also decent defenders, and are far, far better at getting forward. Depends on how you play I suppose.

True. I wouldn’t swap right now though but I could understand why you would.

These things are always dodgy, if you like it though just use that transfermrkt site they regularly update squad values etc i think.

Not really. With no footy, I'm having to scrape the bottom of the barrel.

‘Most valuable’ squad doesn’t mean ‘best’ squad.

Assuming that the ages of players, contract lengths remaining, size of squad, loan players, wages (which impact transfer value), etc. are taken into account.

For sure ‘most valuable’ doesn’t translate as ‘best’ then, and, accordingly, perceived value shouldn’t necessarily suggest squad performance or league position.

No one really agrees on the order of best squads. And how much a squad is worth is pretty useless. However, how much a club has spent shows where they aim to be. If they fail to reach near those levels, they have underachieved.

They have AWB valued at £50-£70m, Robertson at £90-120m and TAA at £150-£200m.

But these figures don’t show how much a club has spent, gross or net.

They show (some measure of) value, which is completely different.
