Newcastle United’s squad was recently ranked as one of the top 50 highest valued groups in the world.

But just how much is every Magpies player worth?

Here we delve into the statistics from that original survey and reveal how the value of United’s £205million squad is actually broken down, according to transfermarkt.

Some of the values are fair – but some are way off the mark. We start with the goalkeepers...

The Slovak is one of the jewels in the crown at United - there are few. A class act since the day he walked through the door. Has a mistake in him but more than makes up for it. This valuation is FAR TOO LOW!

. Martin Dubravka - £6.3m

Darlow is out of contract next summer so United would do well to get anywhere near this in the next window, if they decide to sell. With a new deal signed, he's worth more.

. Karl Darlow - £3.15m

Elliot is back where he started - as United's third choice keeper. And with the quality ahead of him, that's about right. Likely to be his last season on Tyneside.

United's skipper was signed for relative peanuts from Nottingham Forest and has gone on to establish himself as a Premier League regular. Seems a fair price for the player.

The Frenchman, when fit, has been a class act for United. They signed him for nearly £9m, there's absolutely no chance the player has fallen in value.

. Florian Lejeune - £7.2m

This has to be some kind of joke. The player was snapped up for £3m, but he's worth way more than that now, having established himself as one of the best ball-playing - and goal-scoring - defenders in England.

. Fabian Schar - £7.2

Very unlucky not to be in the United starting XI. Probably the best 'central' defender at the club. His problem is that the skipper sits ahead of him in his suited role. A fair value given his age.

. Federico Fernandez - £6.3m

Would be an outstanding buy for any team in the division below - and at this price would represent great value. Never lets United down when called upon.

. Ciaran Clark - £5.4m

Played at left-back or left centre-half, Dummett has proven he is Premier League class during his time at United. What's he worth? It's hard to say. But to be honest he's worth a whole lot more than this to Bruce's Magpies.

. Paul Dummett - £4.5m

On loan at United at present but it is likely this will be made permanent next summer, if he continues to progress.

Solid and dependable the Sweden international looks a decent summer addition. United did pay £5m, though.
