Three promising young Derby players are evaluated by FLW as they move forward and have the potential to save the team millions of dollars.
Derby has gained some notoriety in recent years for its academy production line, which has included actors like Max Bird and Louie Sibley as well as Tom Huddlestone and Will Hughes in the past.
The team still has a feeling of experience, but here we look at some of the younger players who, if they can maximize their potential with Derby, might save them millions over the next few years.
Derby County, who finished seventh under Paul Warne last season, is still a League One team for the second year in a row.
A 1-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday on League One final day in 2022/23 was all it took for the Rams to fall out of the top six and miss out on the play-offs.
Their preparations for this summer were influenced by their inability to get promotion at the first attempt, but things appear to be looking well for Derby despite missing out on that opportunity. Under David Clowes, they have stable finances, and the point deductions are behind
they as well. They were finally allowed to go forward under a new administration after Clowes assumed control as the club’s principal shareholder.
Richard Stearman, James Chester, Curtis Davies, David McGoldrick, Krystian Bielik, and Jason Knight, among others, have all left the Rams this summer.
To reinforce their ranks for a subsequent promotion drive, they have also been active in bringing in new players and have signed Callum Elder, Curtis Nelson, Josh Vickers, Joe Ward, Sonny Bradley, Martyn Waghorn, and Tyrese Fornah, among others.
