We have looked at every squad’s market value on Transfermarkt to see where every side would finish based on what their squad is worth before comparing that to their current position.
Brighton and Hove Albion are the biggest overachievers so far, with their squad rated as the 18th-most valuable in the division but the Seagulls are currently above Liverpool having enjoyed a fine start to the campaign.
The Reds are among those underachieving, with their squad rated as the second most expensive in the Premier League.
Below we have placed each team in order of their squad value and see how that compares to their current position.
The brackets indicate if a team is over or underperforming in terms of their market value. Take a look…
13. Southampton (actual position - 18th)
The Saints are 13th in terms of market value in the Premier League with their estimated worth sitting at £284.45m. They currently occupy the relegation zone, having lost six of their first 10 games. Photo: Mike Hewitt
14. Brentford (actual position - 9th)
The Bees produced a fine display to beat Brighton 2-0 on Friday night and move themselves into the top half. With a squad value of £269.91m, a top-10 finish would be a fine effort from Thomas Frank's side. Photo: Mike Hewitt
15. Nottingham Forest (actual position - 19th)
Forest's summer spending was the fifth highest in the division to sky-rocket their squad value to £269.91m. A host of new players has yet to yield instant rewards, with the club occupying a place in the relegation zone. Photo: Bryn Lennon
16. Leeds United (actual position - 15th)
The Whites have struggled of late as their defeat to Arsenal left them six games without a win. A big clash awaits against Leicester with the club's squad value rated at £254.97m, putting them in the bottom five in terms of team worth. Photo: Ryan Pierse
