The Premier League season is now starting to take shape as we head into a busy festive period, and there have already been plenty of surprises.
Whether it be Sunderland’s return or Liverpool’s struggles, there have been numerous talking points so far, and FootballBlog have transformed the top flight table to a cost per point basis.

20 Wolves
£52.8m per point
wolves-premier-league
Based off the fact they only have two points from a possible 33, it is no surprise to see Wolves rock bottom of this table as well.
The Old Gold spent over £100m in the summer, so their cost per point so far is extortionate.
19 Liverpool
£24.81m per point
Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah
Defending champions Liverpool were the biggest spenders by far over the summer, spending just under £450m on the likes of Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Milos Kerkez.
Aside from Ekitike, the Reds’ new additions have struggled massively and as a result, every point Arne Slot’s side have picked up has cost them just shy of £25m.
18 Newcastle
£21.36m per point
Newcastle
Pressure is building on Eddie Howe and Newcastle after a poor Premier League start, with the Magpies forking out more than £250m in the summer.
Record signing Nick Woltemade started brightly, but Newcastle are in the relegation zone in this cost per point table at more than £21m for each of their 12 points.
17 Nottingham Forest
£20.28m per point

Now onto their third manager of the season, Nottingham Forest are showing positive signs under Sean Dyche and are out of the bottom three in this table.
The Reds spent just under £185m after qualifying for the Europa League, meaning Evangelos Marinakis has spent over £20m per point so far.
16 Chelsea
£14.83m per point
Chelsea FC
Chelsea were the second-biggest spenders in England over the summer, with Joao Pedro, Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens their three most expensive additions.
The Blues have started in solid fashion after their Club World Cup triumph, so a cost of just under £15m per point so far isn’t terrible for Enzo Maresca’s side.
15 West Ham
£13.13m per point
west-ham-premier-league
This could have been so much worse for West Ham if they hadn’t picked up back-to-back wins prior to the international break.
Now on 10 points from 11 games, the Hammers spent £131.3m over the summer under Graham Potter, but now have Nuno Espirito Santo in charge.
14 Man Utd
£12.91m per point
Man Utd
Unbeaten since September, Man Utd are seemingly beginning to find some form under Ruben Amorim, with marquee signings Bryan Mbuemo and Matheus Cunha impressing.
The Red Devils spent more than £230m in the summer, and their haul of 18 points works out at just shy of £13m per point.
13 Arsenal
£10.27m per point
Trossard-Timber-Eze-Saka-Arsenal
Top of the Premier League table after a brilliant first 11 games, Arsenal are mid-table in this cost per point league after forking out £267m on new players as they aim to finally lift the title under Mikel Arteta.
Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres were the marquee additions in attack, although it has been the Gunners’ defence that has impressed.
12 Burnley
£9.77m per point
burnley-team
Newly promoted Burnley are just above the relegation zone but sit clear of it in the cost per point table.
The Clarets brought in the likes of Kyle Walker over the summer, and he’s so far helped them to 10 points in 11 games.
11 Sunderland
£9.65m per point
Sunderland
The big success story of the season so far has been Sunderland’s return to the Premier League. After eight years away, the Black Cats signed 13 new players at a cost of £183.4m, many of which have made an instant impact.
Sitting in the top four, Regis Le Bris’ side sit down in 11th here, but that won’t bother them one bit.
