Aston Villa had a wobbly start to the season under Steven Gerrard but they’ve come out of the other side under Unai Emery and are now very much in the fight for Europe.
Much of the Villans’ revival has been down to the new tactics enforced by the ex-Arsenal, Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain manager, but also because of their squad depth.
The likes of Diego Carlos, Philippe Coutinho, Jhon Duran, Leander Dendoncker and Alex Moreno have all arrived with large price tags this season alone, whereas other big-money signings have been made across previous campaigns.
This means Villa are doing rather well when it comes to their total squad value.
But how do they rank up against their Premier League rivals, and which clubs sit at the top and bottom of the market value league table?
Using the latest data from Transfermarkt, we’ve put it all together in one place so you don’t have to. See below.
