*Premier League squads 'drop £1.6bn in value'*

"...
It has cut 20% off the value of players born before 1998, with those born after 1998 seeing their value cut by 10%.

This is because the value of players aged 22 or younger generally holds up more than older players, therefore teams who have a lot of key players aged over 22 are likely to suffer the biggest drop in value.

...

Norwich City are estimated to have suffered the least losses, with their squad value dropping by £21m £119m.

That is primarily because a number of their most valuable players - including Todd Cantwell, Max Aarons, Ben Godfrey and Jamal Lewis - were all born after 1998."
