This season
18 points from 12 games; expected finish 15.6. Value in each end-of-season outcome, with FCV's simulated probability:
If promoted, the model assumes the club has to invest to compete and may go straight back down; the promoted value allows for both.
How the value is built
Revenue approach: forward revenue of £24.6m × adjusted multiple 1.74x = £42.9m.
Asset approach: realisable squad value, stadium (if owned) and training ground = £81.3m.
The two are blended with a weight set by division, then adjusted by the club's desirability premium of +2.4%, giving £62.9m if the club stays in the Championship. The live value weights each season outcome by its probability. Full methodology.
