Swansea City Football Formation

Lineup (4-3-3)

This is Swansea's average first XI over the 2011-12 Premier League season. Taken from Match! magazine, the whole value for the team is £7.45 million, and they have cost £169,318 per point this season, so it's remarkable the Swans are staying up considering they are on a tiny budget. Today, they finish off their season with a cracking game against Liverpool at the Liberty Stadium, as a reward for their fine season.

Michel Vorm - £1.5 million
Angel Rangel - £100,000
Ashley Williams - £400,000
Steven Caulker - loan
Neil Taylor - £150,000
Gylfi Sigurdsson - loan
Leon Britton - £400,000
Joe Allen - trainee
Nathan Dyer - £400,000
Danny Graham - £3.5 million
Scott Sinclair - £1 million

It's remarkable that Brendan Rodgers has brought Swansea into the Premier League and kept them up at the first time - only three players in Swansea's average starting XI are in the millions region! It's Total Football that's helped them stay up. I thought Swansea would instantly go back down - but they've been against the odds and they will have a second season of Premier League football.
