Right Winger: Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Value €150 Million

Perhaps the most shocking entry on this list, and the player who has ensured Cristiano Ronaldo and Killian Mbappe are left on the bench, Mo Salah has soared over the past 12 months.

Arriving at Anfield last summer for an initial fee of €42 million, nobody expected the 26-year-old to impress the way he has. Leading Liverpool to the Champions League final while scoring 32 goals in 36 games, Salah has established himself as one of the world's best.

A hard-working, skilful player, Salah spent the early part of his career as an average attacking midfielder. However, a fine season at Roma in 2016/17 saw Salah move to Anfield and flourish under Jurgen Klopp's 'heavy metal' football.

Given the freedom to roam and attack, Salah displayed his finishing prowess and has vastly improved as a player over the past year.

Salah's market value development is the fastest growing of the XI featured in this team. Just one year ago, the Egyptian was valued at €40 million and far away from making a most valuable XI of any kind. However, after his astonishing season with Liverpool, his value has almost quadrupled and now sits at €150 million.
