Nigel Pearson’s side are surprisingly the 18th most valued squad, which is 11 places lower than where they are in the real life table.
City have some prized assets on their books, including Antoine Semenyo who was subject to much speculation throughout the transfer window.
Semenyo is City’s sixth most valued player with a market value of £2.25m according to the website. The 22-year-old had reportedly been subject of a £10m bid which was rejected, whilst the clubs actual valuation of the player is much higher than that.

Han-Noah Massengo, out of contract as well next summer shares the same valuation as the Czech Republic international, but then things go considerably down as you take a closer look at the squad.
Andreas Weimann, despite his 22 goals and 10 assists last year is only worth £2.25m, the same as Jay Dasilva and Semenyo, but if an actual bid were to come in for them, it would take a lot more to prize them away from Ashton Gate.
Surprisingly, Alex Scott who was reportedly wanted by Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur and giants Manchester United, only has a value of £720k, despite being contracted until the summer of 2025.
