French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[MusaMohamed]

Winning the champions league with PSG will be a deteming factor that could convince the French striker to remain in th club. But it's seems the chances of  Klyrian Mbappé signing a new contract is slim because he affirmed that he is having problem with the club leadership. After an impressive performance in the UCL where he scored a brace over Real Sociedad , the club will be willing to  keep him but there is more work to be done to motivate him stay. PSG would have to break the bank to satisfy his desire for more money and I am sure the club is not willing to do that.

I am skeptic that if PSG win Champions League this season, they will be able to convince Mbappe to stay in their club and break their pre-contract agreement with Real Madrid. Mbappe is smart enough to know that if PSG win Champions League this season, it is not their success from a good systematic and strategic development but mainly from luckiness. They will face with many difficulties to defend the title next season and even struggle to go far like quarter finals, semi finals and final match in future.

The match against Real Socidead shows that Mbappe actually enjoys his playing time in Champions League and does not waste any minute to show his ability there.

The coach is already preparing for Mbappé's exist after he was substituted early during the games with Monaco and Rennes. The club is hoping to bring in a quality striker who will be cheaper and also wants to grow young players who will contribute to the team. The club seems not to be ready to splash money on any expensive striker.  

PSG started to change since the summer and they no longer aim at super star players or star players with so much expensive transfer cost. Such expensive players cause many problems for them in financial balance, internal dress-room issues and will affect their performances on field.

If Mbappe actually leaves, I agree with you, that PSG will aim at cheaper striker and they are going to build new squad with cheaper cost but players are ready to play together as a solid squad.

Yes, at this time besides PSG, of course, Brest is the closest team to get another ticket to the Champions League this season with Monaco, currently both are competing to be the best and certainly to keep their chances from the pursuit of Lille and Nice who are below, at the end of the season all possibilities can happen depending on the performance of each team at this time that they must be able to maintain,  The current 1st and 2nd positions are actually still very unsafe for Brest and Monaco, because Lille and Nice can still get the last two Champions League tickets because they have a small points difference at the moment with Monaco and Brest, so that is why everything will likely depend on how well teams like Brest and Monaco maintain their performance until the end of the season.

But despite all that, let's try to suppose if Brest and Monaco get tickets to the Champions League later: for Monaco maybe I will not doubt their capacity to play in the Champions League because so far although they often fail in the Champions League but at least they have better experience playing in the Europa League, while Brest,  honestly maybe they look strong in the league this season, but it seems that for the Champions League it is clear they will be a barn of goals for other teams, besides, I am not sure if brest can bring in new players later to support their performance in the Champions League.

The League starts and we see some clubs doing pretty well with their major challenge being to hold on this improved form for a long time. The main challenge on maintaining this form is investment and most of these small teams don’t have the financial capacity to build up a formidable team. In the Ligue 1, we had Nice starting the season quite well and many though they’ll be that team to worry PSG just like Girona in the La Liga. Now Nice are lurking around 4th/5th and are struggling to get back to UCL Spot.

 They didn’t have the right determination in the team to build up and keep up their form for long. Now we’ve got Brest who’re doing currently at 2nd place and I feel they’re still not safe because the point difference is 4 and Monaco are also a good side. Though Brest have been consistent in performance and with about 12-14 matches to go, I think them maintaining this consistency will see them having a UCL Spot.

 Lille and Nice are also on the chase but I don’t see them being able to overthrow Monaco and stretch to Brest. Though this is football and anything is quite possible within 90 mins of play and Brest too will need to be more determined if they want to attain the success of securing a UCL Ticket. Looking at these teams in the UCL, you’ll begin to wonder why they’re struggling to go to that competition only to end up departing at the group stage. I think if these clubs successfully feature in the competition then they should try to get right players to help them especially in the UCL as there they’ll meet more better teams across Europe.

Looking at the competition at the bottom of the table, there are three teams that have a difference of 3 points to be able to move above each other in the standings and these three teams have a good chance of avoiding the relegation zone if they don't give up this season. Montpellier, Metz and Clermont are the three teams and Montpellier is one of the teams most likely to escape the relegation zone starting this week. Montpellier's difference from Le Havre, Nantes and Lorient is only 1 to 2 points and an additional 3 points for Montpellier this week is enough to shift their position.

However, that also means that Montpellier's three competitors suffered defeats this week and speaking of Montpellier's opponents, the opening match this week will be against Nice. Actually Nice is not in a good condition and they look very bad with no wins in the last 5 matches. Montpellier must make good use of this situation to steal 3 points in the away match and at least they will continue to make Nice even more frustrated if they lose again.

Everything is still very likely to happen at the bottom of the table considering their points gap is not too far away. Competition is even tighter and more interesting at the bottom than at the top, maybe this is an inverse thing. Lol

The bottom position of the standings now occupied by Clermont only has a difference of 7 points from Le Havre which is right on the border of the safety zone. Given that all teams still have problems and inconsistencies, it does not mean that Clermont can catch up and get out of the relegation zone. Especially if we look at Metz or Montpellier, they have a very big chance to get out of the relegation zone because they have fewer points than Clermont. Teams like Nantes, Lorient and Strasbourg are also not in a safe position, because they also still have a fairly close point difference. So with all that is happening at the bottom of the table, all possibilities are still very much possible. Their results in each match will determine their fate in the standings that will bring them whether they can still survive in Ligue 1 or have to go down to division 2.

Even it's not sure because with their current performance level which is improving they are not able to have this historic win but most chances now they can go through for the last four surely because things are taking good change and their performance is much better specially we have good improvement from Mbappé who is scoring in every game and overall also changes happening.

With this all if they are able to secure Luis Enrique for some more time then surely we will have great improvement, and they could be able to give better performance in Champions League in future because this is their weak point, and they are trying their best for fixing this which is possible and if they are able to have this surely they could be superior in coming years which will be give them good success because with the sources of current owners they could be able to have success like Manchester City in all competitions.

Honestly yeah, I believe there is a chance for Marseille to make it to the Champions League. Because if you have noticed Lille, Nice and Lens all don't have a very good form recently. If these teams continue to show performances like this Marseille would capture a big opportunity to go for at least the fourth position which would take them to qualification phase in the Champions League. 

There are 10 more weeks to go. This means a potential 30 points but I'm not saying it like Marseille would win all of their remaining games.    But collecting a solid amount would be very useful for them.

If look at the performance of the other top team, this is not possible and gives Marseille the opportunity to at least occupy the top 3 positions and get the opportunity to compete in the UCL.
It just that if they really want ticket with safe place then runner-up is the rank they have to pursue, but if not then the top 3 positions can also provide that opportunity.
It just that, as I said before when they are in 3rd place, they have to pass the qualifications or play-offs.
But this is not easy because their opponents are several other team who also have to be in the play-offs to get to the group phase.

Hahaha it would be ridiculous to expect Marseille to win overall from the remaining matches, but being able to get 21 points with 7 wins from the remaining 10 matches is very good achievement.
This allows them to be at the one of top standings.

~snip~

With 14 games remaining of course all possibilities can happen including Marseille ending the season in the Champions League zone, Marseille biggest chance to go to the Champions League is still open if if they can consistently win and hope Monaco can drop points in their matches, currently Monaco is the 3rd team in Ligue 1 and Marseille has the closest distance to Monaco at the moment with only 6 points,  Although fairly close but still all possibilities can happen Lens, Lille and Nice are also eyeing the last ticket to the Champions League at this time, but actually the chances of the 4 teams to be in the Champions League next season are as great as Marseille, Lille, Lens and Nice will still meet in the next few weeks.

In addition to the league route, there is actually another way but it can be said to be more difficult for Marseille to be able to reach the Champions League next season, namely by winning the Europa League trophy this season because Marseille has so far still competed in the Europa League, and we all know that UEFA provides 1 automatic ticket to qualify for the Champions League if there is a team that wins the Europa League regardless of their position in the domestic league standings.

Yes, 10 matches is number that can be said to be quite lot and provides an opportunity for all team to realize changes or achieve better achievements, including for Marseille, after all, no one knows what the development of each team will be like in the future.
I not sure Marseille will really be able to get UCL ticket but if an unexpected surprise can happen then nothing is impossible.
It just that even though failed to get UCL ticket, are still available for the Europa League competition and being able to get the Europa League title is also an extraordinary success.
Moreover, when Marseille can be in the UCL I also think that they will fall and in the end become team participating in the Europa League.

The match against Real Socidead shows that Mbappe actually enjoys his playing time in Champions League and does not waste any minute to show his ability there.

I also think it is almost impossible for PSG to win the Champions League this season and I see this realistically that PSG's strength this season is not strong and in fact they are not much better than last season.
Regarding PSG being able to qualify easily past Real Socidead, I think that is a natural thing because PSG's quality is much better than Real Socidead, which is currently in a slump this season.

With all the existing problems, I think it is almost impossible for Mbappé to extend his contract at PSG and I think now PSG must start to forget about it and eliminate dependence on Mbappé and focus on building this team from the start to go through many processes so that it can excel on the European stage as has been done. carried out by Manchester City.

[Hanadawa]

For Lyon, this club will continue to avoid the red zone, but getting a Champions League ticket seems very difficult.

Even Brest and Monaco are still not safe in the Champions League zone because Lille, Nice and Lens can still catch up with them because their point advantage is not too far away. The competition for places 2 to 6 is still very competitive and it is possible that the leaderboard will change at the end of the season. I think it is already impossible for Lyon to target the Champions League because they are 14 points behind Monaco in third place. I respect them for managing to escape the relegation zone after a difficult start to the season. They managed to be in the middle of the standings and I hope they can evaluate their strategy and team for next season.

[redsun114]

The two clubs you mentioned Marseille and Lyon are popular clubs who experienced bad times at the start of the season but have made positive improvements and managed to continue adding points to be in the best position in the points table.
Talking about this opportunity, it could happen because if we look deeper, the club that has managed to reach its best position at the moment is actually making consistent improvements, while the club that is currently at the top has experienced a slight decline in performance and if Marseille really wants to get a ticket to the Champions League in next season, Marseille just needs to be consistent to continue adding points slowly and shift the clubs above them.
For Lyon, this club will continue to avoid the red zone, but getting a Champions League ticket seems very difficult.

Lyon and Marseille are having great history in this French League, but sadly we are having now time which is giving them huge setbacks like we have Lyon break their 50 years worst performance record and Marseille which is currently at the 7th spot are trying their best for achieving top four which is surely never been easy while still chances are available but for having they need to give their best for the remaining last 10 games Lyon is surely now out of the UEFA competitions because they are having not ideal situation.

Marseille is having 10 points difference from the second spotted Brest with Monaco and Lille are also giving their best for the top four and Lens is also hopeful but who could be consistent and stay at the top level it's not easy to predict because mostly matches are unpredictable, but things are going interesting until last game of this season.

[Jody.Drummer]

Lens will host a club that is ranked 2nd in the standings this week, namely Brest. Lens are still having quite a hard time maintaining their stability this season, repeatedly they have had results that are not at all satisfactory. Now they are in 6th place in the standings with 39 points, from 11 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats from the 24 matches they have played this season. With this situation, I think Brest still has a big chance to win even though their status is the visiting team.

Meanwhile, Brest is in 2nd place, their performance is much more stable than the opponents they will face now, in fact they had 3 consecutive wins before this match. Brest has advantages apart from the visiting team's status, but even so, as I said before, they have the opportunity to make Lens have to suffer defeat in front of their own fans. However, it is possible that in this match both clubs will play equally well and the match will end in a draw. I'm not interested in betting on this match, I feel it's a very big risk, so it's better for me to avoid it.

If Mbappe actually leaves, I agree with you, that PSG will aim at cheaper striker and they are going to build new squad with cheaper cost but players are ready to play together as a solid squad.

After the arrival of new coach Luis Enrique we have few good changes which are surely going to help them in all competitions like they are improving their quality in Champions League with mostly were feeling things will be not good for them but still now they are having spot into last eight, and they also can go through for better end of this season for them which is surely impressive secondly now they are trying to avoid star players which was trademark of the PSG, but now they are trying to have things with average players which are also good change and coach is also ready for the exit of Kylian Mbappé which is under serious rumours about his future which is he wanting to join Real Madrid as there are better chances for the win of Champions League instead of staying here at the PSG which is unpredictable and never been ideal club even he is having huge salary from here.

[len01]

Marseille is stuck in seventh position with 36 points and the competition for the top four is also increasingly difficult because they have to catch up on points from several clubs above them. The level of consistency must be immediately improved because they must at least catch up to the Europa League zone position and even though the competition is tight, the opportunity is still quite big if Marseille can return to consistency.

This is something that is still possible to achieve even though the level of difficulty is very high, what's more, Marseille's fate will depend on the results of other clubs above them so it is possible that they will not get what they are targeting even though they have experienced very good progress in their performance because of other teams perform better and consistently to also get the position that Marseille is also targeting.

However, if Marseille fails to get tickets to play in one of the European competitions, be it the European League or the Conference League because the Champions League position seems impossible to achieve, then they failed to achieve the same thing last season because last season Marseille managed to play in the Champions League qualification but failed to enter the group phase because they lost to Panathinaikos and had to settle for playing in the European league but unfortunately they didn't perform well so they had to go through the playoffs to get to the 16th round.

there are still 14 remaining matches this season that Marseille can still catch up with, while this team only has a difference of 5 points with Lille, which is currently in 4th position and to get 3rd place to get a UCL ticket, there is nothing impossible, just have the difference is quite close as long as Marseille can be more consistent in continuing to secure points, everything can be achieved comfortably.
as we know, several teams above Marseille are experiencing a decline in performance, such as Lille and Nice, which are currently shifted from their previous position, so if Marseille can take advantage of this opportunity, they can definitely move up to the top 5, but competing with Lens seems a bit difficult.

[Palakka]

Meanwhile, Brest is in 2nd place, their performance is much more stable than the opponents they will face now, in fact they had 3 consecutive wins before this match. Brest has advantages apart from the visiting team's status, but even so, as I said before, they have the opportunity to make Lens have to suffer defeat in front of their own fans. However, it is possible that in this match both clubs will play equally well and the match will end in a draw. I'm not interested in betting on this match, I feel it's a very big risk, so it's better for me to avoid it.  

Yes this is their second meeting this season after previously Brest painstakingly beat Lens 3-2 at home, both teams have high motivation to be able to beat each other because both currently need points to be able to secure their respective positions from the pursuit of other teams, both as you said have the same performance,  But so far I see that Brest has a better league winning record than Lens so it is very likely that Brest will be able to win again with a narrow score in the match later.

In other matches, of course, Marseille might benefit if later Lens is defeated by Brest, Marseille, which is currently under Lens position, has a great chance to be able to equalize points in the standings if Marseille can win when facing Nantes in the same week, but if Lens can win against Brest, of course it will make the competition in the Champions League zone will be even more exciting and it can be said that the team in under brest position will Having the opportunity to win a tikets for the Champions League later, after PSG managed to win the championship trophy this season automatically makes rival teams have only one choice: End the season as high as possible to be able to play in European competition next season.

Lens will host a club that is ranked 2nd in the standings this week, namely Brest. Lens are still having quite a hard time maintaining their stability this season, repeatedly they have had results that are not at all satisfactory.

However, it is possible that in this match both clubs will play equally well and the match will end in a draw. I'm not interested in betting on this match, I feel it's a very big risk, so it's better for me to avoid it.  

At least, Lens weren't as bad as they were at the start of the season and when competing in the Champions League. now, gradually the team coached by Franck Haise is starting to improve even though their performance is not stable enough. is in 6th place, which is good enough for Franck Haise's team. if Lens wins the match against Brest, and for example Nice only achieves a minor result against Montpellier. meaning, Lens' ranking will rise, shifting the position occupied by Nice. On the contrary, Brest's performance is quite good in its 13 matches without defeat in Ligue 1. however, in reality, the fact is that Brest is not a team that has stronger depth than Lens. maybe you could say that both teams have equal strength. It's just that Brest's performance is more stable because it doesn't participate in many competitions. so it's only natural that Brest has been able to be consistent so far.

Well, this week Ligue 1 will bring together a match between Lens vs Brest, in the first meeting this season Lens lost at home to Brest. now, Lens will host Brest at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, Lens' home ground. momentum for Lens to avenge their defeat in the first match, plus try to compete closely with Nice who are ranked 5th in the standings. It is very likely that this match will be a balanced match. Because referring to the betting market, Lens is more superior. also, even though Brest is in 2nd place, it is not an easy matter to conquer Lens again at its base. at least, for the moment Lens is the favorite based on the betting market. Let's just wait, the meeting between the two teams will be held this week.

It is certain that Lyon will lose their ticket to a major competition next season and I would probably understand this problem and it is natural for a club to experience a decline in performance after going through several problems but in the end Lyon consistently avoided the red zone and this is an extraordinary result to be able to achieve. go far from the relegation zone and Marseille still has a big chance of getting UEL or CL tickets which definitely only requires high consistency.
Even though every match and club performance cannot be predicted, I see that Nice is easier to shift because this club is just a lucky club to be ranked in the top 5 but at the end of the season it will be shifted by a more popular club.

Lyon's current priority target is to stay in league 1 and to get tickets to other competitions may be the next goal because competing for big points from the remaining matches is currently a bit impossible and will not even be possible to achieve so there is no priority goal except stay in league 1 until the end of the season.
Marseille still has a very good trend at the moment to get tickets to other competitions, which is very convincing to achieve because if Marseille is able to consistently get points in the remaining matches, it is very easy to get at least a ticket to UEL, while Nice is currently having a very big setback convincing Marseille to continue fighting for the best position at the end of the season.

Lens are still having quite a hard time maintaining their stability this season, repeatedly they have had results that are not at all satisfactory.

I'm not interested in betting on this match, I feel it's a very big risk, so it's better for me to avoid it.  

The match between Lens versus Brest is a competition to secure tickets to the Champions League next season. On paper, Brest deserves to be superior because their statistics are slightly better at the moment. It is true that there is a possibility that this match will end in a draw, because Lens is lucky in terms of acting as host. Lens has the ambition to penetrate the Champions League zone, which is currently three points away, and it is not an easy job to secure full points when facing Brest. Betting on this match really requires consideration, because the strengths of the two teams are not much different.

On the other hand, the competition for the Champions League zone in Ligue 1 is likely to continue to be tight until the end of the season, while PSG will not be under significant pressure to lead the standings in the future. Brest, Monaco, Lille, Nice and Lens will pressure each other to secure Champions League tickets, and Marseille also seems to have a chance to enliven the competition. The Lens versus Brest match is one of the most interesting matches in week 25, considering the background of ambition and the impact that would arise if points were lost.

[jaberwock]

Brest is currently in the Champions League zone in second place but this is not completely convincing because the clubs below still have a chance, it's just that Brest is 4 points ahead and recently they haven't experienced a defeat and have only achieved 2 draws. If they can maintain his consistency then he can get the ticket and compete in big competitions. Monaco itself has remained in 3rd place for a long time and is also not said to be safe in being in the Champions League zone because it is only 1 point different from Lille.

Yes, at this time besides PSG, of course, Brest is the closest team to get another ticket to the Champions League this season with Monaco, currently both are competing to be the best and certainly to keep their chances from the pursuit of Lille and Nice who are below, at the end of the season all possibilities can happen depending on the performance of each team at this time that they must be able to maintain,  The current 1st and 2nd positions are actually still very unsafe for Brest and Monaco, because Lille and Nice can still get the last two Champions League tickets because they have a small points difference at the moment with Monaco and Brest, so that is why everything will likely depend on how well teams like Brest and Monaco maintain their performance until the end of the season.

But despite all that, let's try to suppose if Brest and Monaco get tickets to the Champions League later: for Monaco maybe I will not doubt their capacity to play in the Champions League because so far although they often fail in the Champions League but at least they have better experience playing in the Europa League, while Brest,  honestly maybe they look strong in the league this season, but it seems that for the Champions League it is clear they will be a barn of goals for other teams, besides, I am not sure if brest can bring in new players later to support their performance in the Champions League.

I mean Brest, Monaco and PSG will go to UCL next season, I am pretty sure of that three. However, I really do not think that Brest will be able to do all that great, it is not going to be all that simple. We are going to end up with something much worse, we are going to end up with something that will not take that much time. I feel like it is going to be hard for them to do anything at UCL because they are not a big club, and not really have a team culture that is too used to it.

There are much smaller teams, from nations that are smaller, but constantly goes there, which can do much better. We should consider Brest to be just a team who had one good year, but not sure if they could have that next season to be fair.

[Oneandpure]

Lyon and Marseille are having great history in this French League, but sadly we are having now time which is giving them huge setbacks like we have Lyon break their 50 years worst performance record and Marseille which is currently at the 7th spot are trying their best for achieving top four which is surely never been easy while still chances are available but for having they need to give their best for the remaining last 10 games Lyon is surely now out of the UEFA competitions because they are having not ideal situation.

Marseille is having 10 points difference from the second spotted Brest with Monaco and Lille are also giving their best for the top four and Lens is also hopeful but who could be consistent and stay at the top level it's not easy to predict because mostly matches are unpredictable, but things are going interesting until last game of this season.

Before PSG dominating become the most winner in Ligue 1 there are has Lyon with their impressive performance and ever won six consecutives Ligue 1 trophy with their players Juninho. After PSG acquisition make Ligue 1 easily dominance by one club only and the most historical teams such as Lyon or Marseille get difficulty not only to pressure PSG for winning domestic league but also not easy for finishing on Champion League spot position.
Sadly with Lyon performance in last several season, I can't memorize well when the last time Lyon participants in Champion League or Europea League regarding difficult how to keep their consistency performance in domestic league. Lyon still outside from Europe League standings spot and I don't sure they will get one ticket for playing in European competition next season behind 12 points left from Nice as the latest spot for Europe League spot position.

On the other hand, the competition for the Champions League zone in Ligue 1 is likely to continue to be tight until the end of the season, while PSG will not be under significant pressure to lead the standings in the future. Brest, Monaco, Lille, Nice and Lens will pressure each other to secure Champions League tickets, and Marseille also seems to have a chance to enliven the competition. The Lens versus Brest match is one of the most interesting matches in week 25, considering the background of ambition and the impact that would arise if points were lost.

This match is going to be one of the hardest games to predict because this time Brest got a better place in the table and they have got more than based on the previous results they had recently in the league but I think this time Lens can make them stop. Brest didn't lose any game in the last five matches they had and they won or had a draw while Lens couldn't get these results.
Maye this time there is a good opportunity for us to bet on Brest for this match because of the rates I can see

there are still 14 remaining matches this season that Marseille can still catch up with, while this team only has a difference of 5 points with Lille, which is currently in 4th position and to get 3rd place to get a UCL ticket, there is nothing impossible, just have the difference is quite close as long as Marseille can be more consistent in continuing to secure points, everything can be achieved comfortably.
as we know, several teams above Marseille are experiencing a decline in performance, such as Lille and Nice, which are currently shifted from their previous position, so if Marseille can take advantage of this opportunity, they can definitely move up to the top 5, but competing with Lens seems a bit difficult.

If it's aiming at securing the UCL ticket than I can say that it's very much possible with Marseille but what's actually in doubt will be them been able to get to displace the champions at the top of the table, looking at Marseilles performance this season so far, they have not been really bad neither have they been worse and considering they have got some time before the end of the season, even if it's isn't enough room they will still be able to deliver.

Marseilles performance tonight was actually not such that will present them Ina. Weak light, although it wasn't a Ligue 1 game but they are sure they got their complete points by the end of the game and it was actually deserving because they did performed well enough, having the greater part of possession aswell as attempts so it's clear thst they have some level of good performance that could still help them get  a Little above their presents position on the table and hopefully they will be able to find a way to go a step further a d have their UCL ticket secured.

PSG still remains the best team in the Ligue 1 and very probable to win the league title because the point difference is very much far away from them, PSG is far and any team who may want to meet him should strive to get to that point maybe next month. pSG is definitely going to win the title and still be try to win the champions league title which is very different from their domestic league stuffs.

Of course, until now there is no team in Ligue that can break PSG's dominance in Ligue 1. They are really a very strong team and also have very large finances. I think they will be able to dominate the league for the next few seasons unless another team is also acquired by a super rich company from the Middle East.

Before PSG dominating become the most winner in Ligue 1 there are has Lyon with their impressive performance and ever won six consecutives Ligue 1 trophy with their players Juninho. After PSG acquisition make Ligue 1 easily dominance by one club only and the most historical teams such as Lyon or Marseille get difficulty not only to pressure PSG for winning domestic league but also not easy for finishing on Champion League spot position.

Before PSG was acquired, competition in Ligue 1 was quite competitive even though Lyon had won several times in Ligue 1. But that still provided opportunities for other teams to become champions. Teams like Marseille, Lille and Monaco have become very competitive. Lyon doesn't really dominate the league with a very large comparison of strength and player quality. This is different from PSG where they have a squad that has a very different market price compared to other teams in Ligue 1.
