The list of agents fees paid out by clubs from 01/02/2019 to 31/01/2020 was published by the FA today.

City's total payments of £3,462,349 was the fifth-highest in the Championship. Clubs who paid more were:

£5,683,904 - Stoke
£5,199,242 - Swansea
£4,428,786 - Fulham
£4,030,846 - Leeds Utd

A sample of other payments:

£3,362,724 - Brentford
£2,807,344 - West Brom
£2,355,049 - Huddersfield
£2,142,953 - Derby
£1,889,161 - Bristol City
£1,237,510 - Nottingham Forest

I was surprised to see both Swansea and Cardiff so far up the table. Can't really understand it considering the transfers both clubs have been involved in during the relevant period. Perhaps Swansea's total includes payments to agents dealing with outgoing transfers (I'm thinking of Daniel James in particular), but why is Cardiff's figure so high?
