Thought I'd post this out of interest. Pity they don't do one for the Championship. I'm sure we would be top!!

Im confused, what's this indicating and what is it making certain players better value (what criteria?)?
 
Was going to say Hernandez has been **** this season.
 
Van Persie was top in best value player so I don't know where you got Scott Parker from
 
And Jack Wilshere isn't going to be in the list when he's been injured all season.
 
Apologies all posted this in haste from work and must have pressed wrong button. As LFF rightly points out this was the previous season.
 
I hate it when financial companies and economists try to put a value on everything: health, the environment, happiness. Morale of the story: not everything has a physical price.
