Latest Leicester City news from LeicestershireLive as their squad value is compared to their Premier League position.
Leicester City boss Steve Cooper is getting more out of his squad than most other Premier League managers, according to a new report.
The Foxes are currently in 15th place in the table after the opening five matches of the new season. They are yet to win a league match, but have claimed three draws to earn three points.
According to Transfermarkt, City are overperforming and are doing better than their squad value suggests they should be. Transfermarkt have compared the valuation of each Premier League team’s squad with their current spot in the table to see which sides are getting the most out of their resources. Leicester have the 19th most expensive squad but are four places better off in the actual table.
