No sign of Palace in the 32 but surprised that a club like Newcastle aren't in the list. Surely they're worth more then say Celtic due to being in the Premier League or is it all about the value of European football and brand identity.

It's all to do with the selection criteria:
1. Clubs must be among the top 50 European teams by total operating income
2. Clubs must be among the top 50 teams according to the 5-year UEFA coefficient
If one of the above criteria is not fulfilled then:
3. It is among the top 30 European teams by number of social media followers (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube combined) as at 1 Jan 2019
38 clubs met the selection criteria and were analysed by KPMG. The top 32 were ranked according to 'Enterprise Value' (profitability, popularity, sporting potential, broadcasting rights and stadium ownership). The 6 runner-ups weren't English clubs.
