Most Valuable XI of 2017 

Forward: Kylian Mbappe (AS Moncao / Paris Saint-Germain)

Kylian Mbappe is still a teenager but he already has goal scoring records in his sights

2017 has been a whirlwind year for young Kylian Mbappe who burst on to the scene at AS Monaco. He has scored goals by the dozen and led the Ligue 1 side to the Champions League semi-finals - becoming the only player to breach Juventus' defence in the knockout stages before Real Madrid in the final.

Almost every side from Arsenal to Real Madrid wanted his signature but nobody was willing to meet his wage demands until Paris Saint-Germain decided to bring him home - he is a Parisien after all.

A "loan move" allowed PSG to circumvent Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations after they had spent the equivalent of the GDP of Chile on securing Neymar. Of course, they have the "option to buy" him for €180m next season - even though he is valued at half that price (€90m).

Nevertheless, he and Neymar have joined forces with Edinson Cavani to win that elusive Champions League crown for PSG. They have already set a new record after scoring 25 goals in the group stages.
