#1 France (€1.08 billion)
After their miserable defeat in the Euro 2016 finals against Portugal, France are being considered to be the ultimate favourites to lift the World Cup title in Russia. Boasting one of the strongest sides with an insane squad depth, Les Blues have an excellent blend of youth and experience.
Didier Deschamps' men are the youngest squad in the competition with an average age of 26. Further, they are currently 7th in the FIFA World Rankings.
PSG attacker Kylian Mbappe (€120m) is the most valuable player in the French squad. Following him, are Atletico Madrid's talisman Antoine Griezmann (€100m) and Manchester United star Paul Pogba (€90m).
France will face Australia, Peru and Denmark in the Group C, which appears to be somewhat of a cakewalk for Les Blues.
