Only a tiny fraction of all football players get prem wages

--------

The average wage of a Premier League footballer is just over £60,000 a
week, which equates to more than 3 million a year. Premier League
footballers are the highest paid; lower divisions receive much less.

Championship wages are just over £4,000 a week, which is around £200,000
a year. This is an excellent example of how quickly wages can drop below the
Premier League, even though they’re still generous.

Players in the bottom division are paid considerably worse than Premier
League and even Championship players, earning around £750 per week,
which isn’t much higher than the national average.
