This season
17 points from 13 games; expected finish 14.7. 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 £6.7m × adjusted multiple 1.20x = £8.0m.
Asset approach: realisable squad value, stadium (if owned) and training ground = £13.8m.
The two are blended with a weight set by division, then adjusted by the club's desirability premium of -10.1%, giving £9.7m if the club stays in League One. The live value weights each season outcome by its probability. Full methodology.
