The Value of Demarai Gray's goals

by   |   17/09/2021  1 Comments  [Jump to last]

In 2014, Sportingintelligence.com ran an article, 'Premier League Goals Worth £915k each last season ...' in which they estimated the financial value of a Premier League goal in financial terms.

The formula totalled all PL central funds and then divided this total by the number of goals scored during the 2013/14 season to gain the £915k per goal average.

Using Planet Football Data, I have applied the same formula for season 2020/21. PL Central Funds provided £2,536 million for the pleasure of watching 1024 goals throughout the whole season! This equates to the value of a goal being worth some £2,476,562 each.

Using last season's figure, Demarai Gray has already earned the club some £7,429,686 in prize money! Indeed Gray and Andros Townsend are already worth close to £10 million or about six times their joint transfer cost to the Blues! Let's hope Rondon can give the same value!

Furthermore, historically, Dixie Dean would have been worth nearly £150 million in today's money or the transfer fee required for an Mbappe or his ilk.

Continuing this theme, the financial rewards being earned by three of our 'cheapest' players in our Premier League squad, Andros Townsend, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Demarai Gray have scored 9 goals between them or a value of £22,289,058. Not bad for three players who cost less than £4million altogether!
