#12 Bournemouth
Average Annual Pay per Player: £1.98 million
Trending
Bournemouth have started season 2018-19 on a high. They have been the surprise package in the league under the shrewd stewardship of Eddie Howe. They finished 12th in the league last season and have made positive advances towards gaining a higher position in the league table.
The Cherries are currently 8th in the standings with 20 points from 13 games. Just like Watford, they spent £46.17m and have reaped rich dividends of their transfer activity.
#11 Southampton
Average Annual Pay per Player: £2.66 million
Southampton may be considerably higher on this financial list, but their results are far matching the magnitude of their wage bill. They are currently struggling in the 18th place with 8 points from 13 games.
The Saints have far from enjoyed the benefits of the £56.03m they forked out to improve their squad in the summer. It remains to be seen if they succeed in confirming their stay in the top-flight as the season ends.
#10 Leicester City
Average Annual Pay per Player: £2.71 million
Leicester City have had a moderate campaign albeit they can definitely perform better. They are currently in the 10th place, having grabbed 18 points from 13 games.
The Foxes shelled out a hefty sum of £112m in the summer to improve their squad. Going by the wage bill they have, they certainly need to up the ante so as to churn results that match that sum.
Jamie Vardy(£100k per week), Kasper Schmeichel(£80k per week) and Adrien Silva(£80k per week) are the highest earners at the club.
#9 Crystal Palace
Average Annual Pay per Player: £2.75 million
Crystal Palace topped the lower half of the Premier League table last season, however, they have failed to replicate the same form in the current campaign With 9 points in 13 games, they are 16th in the table and just a point above the relegation zone.
The current plight of the Eagles shouldn't come as a surprise after knowing that the club failed to purchase any player in the summer, plugging the gaps in the squad with loans and free transfers.
Christian Benteke(£120k per week), Mamadou Sakho(£100k per week) and Scott Dann(£60k per week) are the highest earners at the club.
