Ahead of this weekend’s FA Cup fourth round fixtures, we’re taking a look at the squad values of the competition’s highest ranked remaining team; Arsenal, and the lowest ranked, and only remaining non-league side; Wrexham.
Arsenal Squad Worth Just Over £700 Million
England’s highest ranked team Arsenal still remain in the FA Cup, and are a whole 91 places above Wrexham, the lowest ranked side remaining in the competition based off league positions.
The Gunners face a Friday night trip to Manchester in the fourth round, as Premier League title rivals Manchester City host at the Etihad Stadium.
FA Cup betting sites have Arsenal priced at around 3/1 to overcome the Citizens, and advance to the fifth round.
Arsenal’s squad value has risen even more during the January transfer window, following the acquisitions of Jakub Kiwior from Spezia, and Leandro Trossard from Brighton & Hove Albion.

Wrexham Squad Valued At Just Under £4.5 Million
Phil Parkinson’s Wrexham are the only remaining non-league side, as we approach the FA Cup fourth round, where they will host Sheffield United at the Racecourse.
FA Cup betting sites have Wrexham at around 33/10 to defeat their Championship opposition, to book their place in the fifth round of the competition.
Despite being a National League team, Wrexham have not been quiet in the transfer market since the club was taken over by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in February 2021.
The Welsh club missed out on promotion to League Two last season, being pipped to the title by Stockport County, and failing to overcome Grimsby Town in the playoff semi-final.
Further investment over the summer has evidently seemed to work, as Wrexham sit top of the National League and are in the FA Cup fourth round for the first time since 2000.
FULL TIME | Coventry 3-4 Wrexham
