Valuball turns three decades of football finance into something you can actually explore. England, Scotland and now France — every figure drawn from clubs' official annual accounts, filed at Companies House in the UK and France's INPI, alongside the DNCG's league reports. Revenue, wages, transfers, debt and squad cost for 200+ clubs, explained clearly, with the methodology shown. Whether you want to understand why your club spends what it spends, compare rivals across decades — or across the Channel — or test your own transfer plans, Valuball gives you the full financial picture. WHAT YOU CAN EXPLORE • Premier League squad detail down to individual player wages • Transfer fees verified against media reporting — not guesswork • Revenue split by matchday, broadcast and commercial • Wages, wage-to-revenue ratios and squad cost control • Profit & loss, EBITDA, debt and owner funding • League totals, rankings and inflation-adjusted history • 30+ seasons and 200+ clubs in rich, interactive charts FROM THE PREMIER LEAGUE TO LIGUE 1 England back to 1992/93. Scotland's Premiership and Championship. France's Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 back to 2002/03 — PSG's transformation, the TV-rights crisis, all of it in euros or pounds at a single tap. SIMULATE A TRANSFER WINDOW Build your own window — buy, sell and reshape the squad — and watch the financial effects play out. See how a marquee signing hits wages, amortisation and squad cost before your club ever makes the call. BUILT ON REAL ACCOUNTS No scraped estimates. Every figure comes from statutory filings — Companies House in the UK, the INPI in France — corroborated by the DNCG's annual reports and built on the squad-cost frameworks now central to football finance.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FPL Focal at none against Valuball's 3. FPL Focal also leads on ratings volume (36 vs 1). Valuball's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 13 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
