This season
15 points from 8 games; expected finish 5.4. Value in each end-of-season outcome, with FCV's simulated probability:
How the value is built
Revenue approach: forward revenue of €147m × adjusted multiple 2.95x = €434m.
Asset approach: realisable squad value, stadium (if owned) and training ground = €197m.
The two are blended with a weight set by division, giving €374m if the club stays in Ligue 1. The live value weights each season outcome by its probability. Full methodology.
