At SportsLens, we delve into the most valuable XI in the Premier League this season and look at the increases in value from the start of the season, as per Transfermarkt.
Some players have excelled this season, while others have simply met expectations. Their roles have been pivotal in determining their teams’ current standings in the league table. Now, let’s examine the Premier League’s most valuable XI of the season.
The Most Valuable XI In The Premier League 2023/24
Goalkeeper: Ederson – Manchester City (£34.3 million)
The Brazilian goalkeeper has once again impressed for Manchester City this season, securing nine clean sheets. However, he fell short of winning the Golden Glove, which went to David Raya this season for his 15 clean sheets.
Despite not winning the Golden Glove, Ederson’s consistent excellence reaffirms his status as one of the world’s top goalkeepers, making his inclusion in the most valuable XI unsurprising.

Right-Back: Trent Alexander-Arnold – Liverpool (£60 million)
Alexander-Arnold has had a prosperous season with Liverpool, contributing three goals and nine assists across all competitions from the full-back position. With a valuation of £60 million, he stands as the most valuable right-back in the world.
Notably, his market value has risen from £55.7 million at the start of the season, increasing by £4.3 million over the course of the campaign.

Centre-Back: Ruben Dias – Manchester City (£68.6 million)
Ruben Dias has maintained his world-class form since joining City in 2020, known for his unwavering commitment in defence. For him and Manchester City, their pursuit of success in the Premier League and FA Cup this season seems like just another day at the office, as they remain on course to clinch both titles this season.
Although his market value has remained steady since the beginning of the season, the Portuguese international’s current valuation stands as the highest of his career.

Centre-Back: William Saliba – Arsenal (£68.6 million)
For Mikel Arteta’s side, the French defender has been exceptional this season, noticeably elevating the team’s performance whenever he’s in the lineup. With an impressive 17 clean sheets at only 23 years old, Saliba’s future prospects are promising.
Saliba’s market value has soared from £55.7 million at the beginning of the season, marking an impressive increase of £12.9 million. If he continues to perform at this level, there seems to be no limit to how high his market value could rise.

The season is 23/24 and you've been bodied by William Saliba.

Left-Back: Destiny Udogie – Tottenham (£38.6 million)
Udogie has experienced a breakthrough season with Spurs, showcasing immense talent since his arrival at the start of the campaign. He has not only bolstered the defence but also provided a strong attacking presence on the left-hand side for Ange Postecoglu’s team.
Despite having the lowest market value in the XI, Udogie is also the youngest player. His market value has seen a significant rise of £6 million since the beginning of the season.

Central Midfielder: Rodri – Manchester City (£94.4 million)
Rodri, hailed as the versatile linchpin in Pep Guardiola’s tactical setup, has played an indispensable role in perfecting his team. Renowned not only as one of the Premier League’s finest this season but also among the world’s elite.
The Spanish midfielder has rewritten Premier League history with an unparalleled unbeaten streak spanning 71 matches, the longest ever for any player. Remarkably, this achievement has coincided with a significant increase in his market value, rising from £77.2 million since the start of the campaign, representing a remarkable £17.2 million difference.

Central Midfielder: Declan Rice – Arsenal (£94.4 million)
Since joining Arsenal from West Ham at the start of the season, the English midfielder has been a revelation. He has greatly enhanced Arsenal’s squad and is now considered one of the best midfielders in the world, rivalling the likes of Rodri.
Interestingly, Rice has experienced an identical increase in value as his counterpart, Rodri, with both Premier League defensive midfielders seeing a £17.2 million rise in their market value since the beginning of August.

Central Midfielder: Martin Ødegaard – Arsenal (£81.6 million)
Much like Declan Rice, Ødegaard has been instrumental for Mikel Arteta’s team since his arrival. In fact, Arsenal’s title challenge would not be possible without him. The Norwegian midfielder has contributed to 20 goals in all competitions this season.
His market value has experienced a modest uptick since the beginning of the season, increasing by £4.3 million. This comes as no surprise considering his consistently excellent performances once again this season.

Striker: Erling Haaland – Manchester City (£154.5 million)
Given his world-class talent, it’s no wonder Erling Haaland has secured a spot in the most valuable XI. This season, he has netted an impressive 36 goals and provided six assists, underlining his exceptional goal-scoring ability.
Since the beginning of the season, Haaland’s market value has remained unchanged, solidifying his status as one of the most valuable players in the world, alongside Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.
