Fulham squad, player by player

Per-player wages are gross fixed salaries from public sources, or a labelled estimate where no salary is published. Fees are reported transfer fees where one is in evidence. This table is a decomposition: the squad-cost estimate on the Briefing stays anchored to the club's own accounts, and the difference is stated here rather than hidden.

Annual squad cost (player rows)
£162m

Ledger total for 27 players. The club's accounts-anchored squad cost is £222m.

How this is calculated
sum of 27 rows: wages £91m + amortisation £71m = £162m club squad cost (accounts-anchored) = £222m

What the named players cost in a year on the ledger's own figures. The club's squad-cost test uses the accounts-anchored figure, which this table decomposes rather than replaces.

  • Wages (reported salaries plus bounded estimates)£91m · 56%
  • Annual transfer-fee cost£71m · 44%

The three most expensive players carry £38m, 24% of the ledger total. Wages are 56% of it; the rest is past transfer spend still being written down.

Reconciliation: the rows account for £91m of the £140m wage line and £71m of the £71m amortisation charge; the residuals (£49m and £0m) are stated below the table, never absorbed.

Wage distribution
£3m mean

Median £3m. Estimated wages are shown as ranges in the table.

How this is calculated
mean = £91m / 27 players = £3m median = £3m

Mean versus median shows how top-heavy the wage bill is: a mean well above the median means a few contracts dominate.

  • under £2m4 players · 15%
  • £2m-£5m (7 estimated)21 players · 78%
  • £5m-£10m (1 estimated)2 players · 7%
  • £10m-£15m0 players · 0%
  • £15m+0 players · 0%

Fairly flat: the mean (£3m) sits close to the median (£3m), so the bill is spread across the squad rather than concentrated in a few contracts.

19 of 27 wages are reported gross salaries; 8 are bounded PSRwatch estimates shown as ranges. None is an official figure.

Book value remaining
£249m

Unamortised transfer cost still on the books. This is not what the squad is worth.

How this is calculated
sum of remaining book value across 27 rows = £249m (annual charge x seasons left, per player)

This is not what the squad is worth. Book value is the part of past transfer fees not yet written down; a sale above it is book profit, below it a loss.

  • From reported fees (accounting run-off)£223m · 89%
  • Apportioned from the club charge (no fee in evidence)£26m · 11%

£4m of book value sits on contracts that end this season, so it either runs off or is re-based by a renewal. 1 loan-in player carry no book value here; the parent club keeps amortising.

Book value on players whose fee is not in evidence is an apportionment of the club's filed charge, labelled MODELLED in the table. Loans do not pause amortisation for the club that owns the registration.

Wage labels: reported salaries are gross fixed pay from a public source; estimated wages are bounded PSRwatch ranges capped at the club's highest reported salary. Apportioned amortisation is a share of the club's filed charge, not a reported fee.

Amortisation wall: when past transfer fees stop being charged

£249m of book value still to be charged across 25 players. The annual charge falls below half of this season's by 2029/30. This season's £71m is 27 points of the squad-cost ratio.

Contract cliff: what expires, and the wages at stake

31% of the ledger's annual cost sits on contracts ending within two seasons. Expiring wages either fall away or must be renewed; expiring book value runs off by then.
