The best and worst clubs in Europe for results against their squad value have been ranked

Leeds United are one of the best clubs in Europe for overperforming against the value of their squad according to new data.

Sportingpedia have ranked every club in each of Europe's top seven leagues by squad value and compared that position with where the team currently sits in their respective league table. The results reveal some striking cases at both ends of the divisions across Europe, from expensive squads sitting far below expectations to teams with relatively modest budgets climbing much higher than their valuations suggest.

Across all seven leagues, Manchester United show the biggest negative gap, sitting 13 places below their squad-value rank, while at the opposite end, Leeds are ranked 15th across all of Europe for over-performing against the value of their side, sitting a place behind Brighton and Hove Albion.

Leeds currently sit ninth in the Premier League table with 14 points from 10 games, and are just two points off a potential Champions League place and Chelsea in fifth. It represents a three-point improvement on where Daniel Farke's side were last season at this stage, with the club hoping to push on when the international break ends after winning last time out against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Premier League provides the widest single contrast of any of the leagues across Europe. Manchester United have the fifth-most valuable squad but sit 18th and have sacked manager Michael Carrick with the club in the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Everton are sixth in the Premier League despite ranking only 16th by value.

Hull City are seven places above their valuation standing and Brighton and Leeds six higher, whereas Crystal Palace sit eight places below theirs and Tottenham, Newcastle and Sunderland are five lower.
