With clubs current counting the cost of a lack of football, some may well be forced to look upon their players as saleable assets in the summer to make up for any lost income.
It could well see clubs cutting some costs in the summer to make up for the revenue they are currently losing by not playing.
If that happens, which squad has the highest market value? According to Transfer Markt, here are Championship clubs in order of the market value of the squad.
| Club | Market value of squad |
| Fulham | £127.58m |
| West Brom | £93.42m |
| Leeds United | £93.38m |
| Bristol City | £76.95m |
| Brentford | £76.1m |
| Middlesbrough | £62.01m |
| Nottingham Forest | £60.62m |
| Stoke City | £60.08m |
| Huddersfield Town | £58.14m |
| Cardiff City | £57.96m |
| Swansea City | £55.35m |
| Birmingham City | £51.12m |
| Derby County | £50.72m |
| Reading | £47.88m |
| Sheffield Wednesday | £38.93m |
| QPR | £38.03m |

| Millwall | £25.2m |
| Luton Town | £21.56m |
| Charlton Athletic | £18.27m |
| Barnsley | £15.84m |
Alongside looking ahead to the summer, there are some interesting current takeaways from this list.
For example, Preston North End are undoubtedly the overperformers in the Championship this season, currently occupying a play-off spot despite having the seventh-lowest market value in the division.
Other overachievers include Blackburn Rovers and Millwall.
On the other hand, with the sixth-most valuable squad in the Championship, Middlesbrough are currently fighting a relegation.
Bristol City's squad is rated as the fourth-most valuable in the division.
That is likely due to the Robins' spending over the last 12 months, bringing in the likes of Han-Noah Massengo, Adam Nagy and Nahki Wells.
Yet, as Bristol Live has previously reported, the Robins' net spend is comparatively low, which shows they have had a high turnover of players in the last year.
