World Cup’s most valuable teams: Which squads are worth most?. England, who are gunning for their second World Cup title, have the most valuable squad in Qatar with Jude Bellingham topping a list of over 800 players, a study has found. Here is a look at how the other major sides compare at the tournament:<\/p>\n

Transfer value<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a study conducted by Swiss research group CIES Football Observatory, England’s 26-man squad is worth just under 1.5 billion euros ($1.54 billion) in transfer value, with 19-year-old Bellingham valued at 202 million euros.<\/p>\n

The Borussia Dortmund player enhanced his reputation as one of the world’s top young players with a superb goal in England’s 6-2 victory over Iran in their tournament opener.<\/p>\n

Brazil is second on the list with a transfer value of 1.45 billion euros. Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. was their most valuable player at 200 million euros.<\/p>\n

France was third with an estimated transfer value of 1.34 billion for their squad. Paris St Germain forward Kylian Mbappe was their top player with a value of 185 million euros.<\/p>\n

The top three were followed by Spain (1.2 billion euros), Portugal (1.15 billion euros) and Germany (1.02 billion euros).<\/p>\n

The statistical technique used in the study to build the model was multiple linear regression, with fees paid by clubs as an independent variable.<\/p>\n

The sample comprises more than 2,000 transactions of players transferred from clubs in the five major European leagues during the period July 2012 to November 2021.<\/p>\n

The overall value of all the squads at the World Cup was put at 15 billion euros.<\/p>\n

Insurable value<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to an analysis by Lloyd’s of London \u2014 backed by the Centre for Economics and Business Research<\/a> \u2014 teams were ranked based on the collective insurable value of their players.<\/p>\n

England’s squad topped the list with an estimated insurable value of 3.17 billion pounds ($3.74 billion).<\/p>\n

They edged out France (2.66 billion pounds) and Brazil (2.56 billion pounds) to claim the top spot. Lloyd’s said the assessment of insurable value comprises a variety of metrics like wages, sponsorship, age and on-field positions.<\/p>\n

Using this methodology to play out the tournament in full, Lloyd’s predicted that England \u2014 champions in 1966 \u2014 will finish top of Group B in Qatar and seal knockout wins over Senegal, France, Spain and Brazil.<\/p>\n

Bellingham was rated the most insurable player, followed by Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
