10 players whose transfer market value increased the most in the past year

#4 Neymar – €30m increase to €100m

Neymar has scored more than 80 goals in less than three seasons at Barcelona

A lot was expected of young Neymar when it was confirmed that Lionel Messi would miss a few weeks of the season due to a knee injury. And step up he did as the Argentine forward was hardly missed. So much so that his return in the Clasico was only a formality after Neymar and Luis Suarez had destroyed the Blancos at the Bernabeu.

With 21 goals in La Liga so far, he may not be the highest goalscorer, but he has been one of the most effective. Based on stats, WhoScored rates him as the best in the league with Messi a very close second.

The Brazilian forward was signed on as a potential replacement to Messi in the long run. So far, he is ahead of both Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the goalscoring charts when they were his age. Although a temporary dip in form has been an issue, it is something that has affected the whole side.
