With the transfer window closed, I split every Serie A squad into three groups: projected starting XI, reserve XI and everyone else. The chart shows the average Transfermarkt value per player in each group.

Inter are well clear with their starting XI—but their depth is possibly even more impressive. Their reserve XI averages €27m per player and would rank fourth among all 40 XIs, behind only the starting lineups of Inter, Como and Juventus.

That depth could make a big difference over the season, especially when teams have to juggle Serie A, the Coppa Italia and European matches.

And at the other end? Lecce’s starting XI is valued below 16 of the other 19 clubs’ reserve XIs. Not looking good for them, as it is now...
