Today (Tuesday, October 7) we are taking a look at the Leicester City roster in all its glory. In all seriousness, we wish to analyse the potential and reported cost or valuation of the entire squad. This way we know what LCFC are dealing with in general, and if the price tags associated with the Foxes positively compares with their closest English Football League Championship rivals.
In addition to noting that factor, we would therefore also be able to compare the King Power group to the lesser rated Premier League competitors. We will do that in order to see how the Leicester team may have hypothetically competed in the top flight this season.
Meanwhile, star winger Abdul Fatawu has risen in cost, if any EPL or top five European division outfits are interested in poaching him as of yet. All will be revealed in due course. Let's waste no time and get started as we assess the value of City's squad as the Ghana international truly makes his name.
Abdul Fatawu's new Foxes worth according to TransferMarkt
Fatawu is an absolute Championship standout. If he hadn't been so badly injured for a prolonged period during the last campaign, he probably would have taken the Prem by storm!
I don't often make these predictions, but the 21-year-old could end up at the very top. He's now said to be worth up to €18million.
Leicester City squad face value
Appraised from a collective of 28, City's overall estimate is a stunning €163.05m. Compare that with the division average and it is much higher.
"Another big riser is Leicester winger Fatawu, who has started the season as a true menace to defenses and looks like he will be a key player for the Foxes in their quest to return straight back to the top flight. He will need to start adding better numbers to his game, but his value increases by +€7m to a new figure of €18m."TransferMarkt
While PL new boys Leeds United are worth an estimated €296.30m. So, if the East Midlands outfit are indeed promoted next year, it appears that huge investment is required. Profit and Sustainability permitting, of course.
