For Crystal Palace, this season is ending far too soon amid a five-game unbeaten run. With two games left, how much extra money can the Eagles earn?
The Premier League is the most lucrative league in the world and Crystal Palace are in line for a healthy payday thanks to their recent performances.
For each league position, there is an amount with the higher you finish leading to more earnings which will only help this summer in the transfer window.
With just two league games left, and Joachim Andersen targeting two wins, how valuable are these two games and what amount will Palace receive for each possible position?
How much is each Premier League position worth to Crystal Palace?
With just two games remaining this season, Palace sit six points off 9th in the league which is a testament to the work that Oliver Glasner has done in such a limited time.
Currently 14th, there is a substantial pay gap between finishing in this position and those pushing up toward the top 10.
As seen, the difference in the positions is substantial and explains why Palace need to keep its foot on the pedal while those around them begin to slip.
If the Eagles can push toward 11th then that’s practically an extra £10m to add to Glasner’s budget this summer which could prove deciding.
The fact Oliver Glasner has the Eagles in this conversation is ludicrous
Upon taking over and even for the early weeks of his reign, Oliver Glasner will have seen relegation as a serious concern.
Roy Hodgson was let go as he simply had the club too close to that possibility, and when Glasner arrived we all thought he’d have a tricky job on his hands.
But over the past month, he’s made light work of this challenge and dragged Palace into the midtable battle which has filled fans with confidence of next season being a successful one.
But if you’d said two months ago that Palace could potentially catch West Ham, you’d have been labelled as crazy. So the fact Glasner has got this even to be a conversation is impressive.
Let’s hope that the next two games are just as good as the previous five have been.
