World's Most Valuable XI

Manchester United v Watford - Premier League
David de Gea - The most valuable goalkeeper in the world

Centre-back: Raphael Varane (Real Madrid) – £72 million

France v Croatia - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Final
Raphael Varane

Varane is one of the most exciting prospects in the football world who has made great strides during his stint at Real Madrid and still has a long career ahead of him.

The France international plays in tandem with Sergio Ramos at Real Madrid and enjoys an excellent partnership with his Spanish team-mate as he is the perfect foil for him. As such, this combination of a proactive and reactive centre-back has also, in turn, aided the Spanish giants in their pursuit of silverware.

Post his exploits at Russia, the 25-year-old is the most valuable defender at present.
