This season
18 points from 12 games; expected finish 2.4. 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 £52.4m × adjusted multiple 1.31x = £68.4m.
Asset approach: realisable squad value, stadium (if owned) and training ground = £170m.
The two are blended with a weight set by division, then adjusted by the club's desirability premium of +20.0%, giving £145m if the club stays in League One. The live value weights each season outcome by its probability. Full methodology.

Questions

How much would it cost to buy Leicester City?
Enterprise value is £155m. After net debt of £92.0m shown in the latest filed accounts, the indicative equity value (what a buyer would pay for the shares) is about £63.1m. Owner loans are often written off or restructured in a sale, so the final price depends on the debt agreed in a deal.
Who owns Leicester City?
FCV records the owner as King Power International. Check the club's filings at Companies House or the relevant national registry for the current shareholding.
How is Leicester City's value calculated?
FCV blends a revenue approach (forward revenue of £52.4m × an adjusted multiple of 1.31x) with a realisable-asset approach (squad, stadium and training ground, £170m), then weights the values if the club is promoted, stays or is relegated by probabilities from a 20,000-run season simulation.
How desirable is Leicester City to a buyer?
Leicester City scores 73 out of 100 on the FCV Desirability Index, #11 of the 92 English league clubs (between #10 and #14 under different weightings). That is above the League One median of 41, which gives a premium of +20.0% on the club's value.
