2025/26 Co-Ord Round-Up Part One - Transfer Dealings

Last year, for the second time, I confidently predicted that the 2025/26 season would be our first billion fantasy spend transfer spend year. This time I was right. Both transfer income and expenditure was up on the previous season.

(I'm less inclined to put team details on here as some of the numbers involved are eye-watering.)

Income

2023/24's record was broken - but only by £220,000 which is £150m up on last year.

Expenditure

The previous record was broken, not by a little but a by just short of half a billion fantasy pounds.

Overall

Collectively our teams lost getting on for £220m. A lot but nowhere the record of £452m.

Twelve teams made losses on their transfer business last season.

Total transfer income from the 2006/07 season is now through the £10bn barrier and heading towards £11bn. Expenditure now exceeds £13bn. 

Will we see a correction next season or a further emptying of the wallets?

(Bear in mind that these figures might be wrong. But they won't be wrong by much. Hardly at all in fact.)
