To create the rankings, we'll use a combination of four inputs:• Squad age: The team's average age, weighted by minutes played this season, via FBref.
• Young talent: The combined Transfermarkt value of the team's players aged 23 and under.
If two of them become stars at the same time, this could be a Champions League club.
Reason for concern: Outside of midfielder Joshua King, there's no young talent making any kind of impact.
Overall score: 69• Squad age: 11• Young talent: 18• Managerial stability: 20• Club health: 20Reason for hope: I, uh, their roster isn't that old?
