Most valuable XI in world football at the moment

Luis Suarez (Barcelona) - Striker: £90 million

Barcelona v Espanyol - La Liga — Luis Suarez will have to shoulder additional responsibility for Barcelona in the absence of Neymar

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez might not have looked at his best during the 2016/17 season, but there is no point arguing with his numbers. Second highest goalscorer in the League with 29 goals and the highest number of assists in the league as well with 13, Suarez has shown that he is always capable of making a difference in the attacking third of the pitch.

Tenacious, skilled and extremely determined, the Uruguayan sharpshooter has often shown that he is the best striker in world football at the moment. Having formed an excellent partnership with Messi, Suarez will be looking to gel well with new signing Ousmane Dembele as well.

Having started in uncharacteristically slow fashion this season, Suarez will be determined to make amends and finish among the top goalscorers in La Liga this season.

Liverpool fans, try not to cry after this video.
