Most valuable Premier League XI at the moment (September 2021)

Center-back: Ruben Dias (€75m, Manchester City)

Ruben Dias has been an instant success

Another recent addition to the Premier League, only one year has passed since Ruben Dias joined Manchester City for a massive €68m. However, a season after his debut, the Portuguese defender is already worth a lot more. He single-handedly fixed City's unstable defence, all the while assuming a leader's role at the back.

Such was Dias' impact that the 24-year-old center-back grabbed the Premier League Player of the Season as City romped to their third league title in four years last term.

Left-back: Andrew Robertson (€65m, Liverpool)

Robertson has solidified the left flank of Liverpool

Another nifty piece of business conducted by Jurgen Klopp, Andy Robertson joined Liverpool in 2017 for a nominal fee of €9 million. The 27-year-old full-back showed signs of promise by winning the man-of-the-match award in his first game for the Reds.

After playing deputy to Alberto Moreno in his debut season, Robertson soon made the left-back position his own through sheer hard work and consistency. The Scottish international has been instrumental in Liverpool's subsequent success, becoming one of the most trusted players under Klopp.

Central midfielder: Bruno Fernandes (€90m, Manchester United)

The quintessential impact player, Bruno Fernandes has completely revolutionized Manchester United. Fernandes had an immediate influence on a middling United side, transforming them into a regular top-four team. At the time of his signing, €63 million for an unproven entity, that too in the middle of the season, seemed to be a very risky gamble.

However, Fernandes has taken to life in the Premier League like a duck to the water, scoring and creating world-class chances on a consistent basis. After only a year and a half, the Portuguese playmaker is considered to be undroppable at Old Trafford.

Central midfielder: Kevin De Bruyne (€100m, Manchester City)

Guardiola has transformed De Bruyne into a beast

Widely regarded as the best player in the Premier League for quite some time now, Kevin De Bruyne is undoubtedly a generational talent. The innovative Belgian is especially adept at linking up play and creating chances out of nowhere.

He returned to the Premier League in 2015 with the Sky Blues, having initially played in the division with Chelsea. De Bruyne hasn't looked back ever since, racking up more tha 263 appearances for Manchester City.
