West Ham's entire squad is worth more than it was this time last season - but not by a lot despite the signing of Pablo Fornals from Villarreal.
The Spaniard arrived for a £25m fee to become the second most expensive signing in the club's history but according to figures compiled by Transfermarkt , it has only brought an increase of £4m in total value compared to the squad that started the season under Slaven Bilic in 2017/18.
That is down to the Hammers releasing a few players so far this summer and also selling Edimilson Fernandes and Lucas Perez and the figures are a tad distorted from the season before when the £30m rated Joao Mario was on the books, as was £13m valued Joe Hart but both were only at the club on loan.
The current figure of the squad Manuel Pellegrini has at his disposal is £312m compared to £308m when Bilic was at the helm.
Players like Winston Reid have seen their market value more than halved after not playing at all in 2018/19 thanks to a serious knee injury, Pedro Obiang has also lost a lot of market value.
Felipe Anderson is only valued at £36m despite West Ham paying £42m for him last summer but some other signings under Mario Husillos' watch have seen their market values go up.
Issa Diop was signed in a deal eventually worth £25m and is now valued at £31.5m and Fabian Balbuena arrived for £4m but is now worth a cool £10.5m to the club after just one season in the Premier League.
Andriy Yarmolenko's £18m arrival to the club reflects his market value as that hasn't changed but Ryan Fredericks has seen his value increase by £4.5m over the season.
The Hammers most valuable player shouldn't come as much as a surprise - Declan Rice has a market value of £40.5m but if West Ham ever did sell him, they'd want at last double that.
