Newcomers and record squad: 1. FC Köln has established itself well in the Bundesliga, even if the current market value analyzes show mixed results. Current numbers from come-on-fc.com reveal that among the players, only four saw an actual gain in their market value. The entire FC Köln squad is currently worth 61.7 million euros, the highest in the league - just ahead of Hamburger SV with 61 million and 1. FC Nürnberg with 58 million euros.

The big focus is on Damion Downs, who emerges from nowhere as the winner of the update with 6 million euros. His colleague Eric Martel also shares this value. The development of Linton Maina, who was able to increase his market value by one million euros to now 4 million euros, is particularly pleasing. Marvin Schwäbe, our goalkeeper, is now valued at 2 million euros, an increase of 500,000 euros. Luca Waldschmidt also made a leap and increased his market value from 1.5 million to 2 million euros.

The dark side of analysis

But not all players can be happy about positive developments. I just say, “There’s something going on.” Tim Lemperle remains in second position; the young player benefited from departures, but he cannot show an increase in value. Dejan Ljubicic is worth 4 million euros. Timo Hübers and Florian Kainz, on the other hand, have to accept severe setbacks in value: Hübers fell from 3.5 to 3 million euros and Kainz from 2 to 1.7 million euros. Other players such as Imad Rondic, Luca Kilian and Jacob Christensen also see themselves as losers in this analysis.

It's also exciting to look at the new signings. Isak Johannesson and Ragnar Ache have managed to keep their value stable at €7 million, showing that they still have potential as a team to influence the market in the future.

A look at the rest of the league

In comparison, the analysis of sport.de, that 1. FC Köln ends up in 15th place in the ranking of the most valuable squads in the Bundesliga with a total value of 115 million euros. This is a remarkable figure that underlines the club's ambitions. The rankings of the other clubs are also interesting - Borussia Dortmund tops the list with 756 million euros, followed by Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen.

As fans, we can remain curious to see how the market values ​​will develop in the coming season. It remains to be hoped that the 1. FC Köln players will shine again with good performances in the coming months.
