Most valuable XI in world football at the moment

Top 10 valuable players at the moment and alternative to every position

Ronaldo and Bale — Cristiano Ronaldo even at the age of 32 is incredibly the third most valuable player in the world!

While Real Madrid and Ronaldo fans might be fuming at the fact that the Portuguese superstar misses out on the XI, he is still among the most valuable players in the world and is ranked at number 3.
