I'm not sure what words to use for this list. Isco, Oscar, Lukaku, Coutinho, and Sterling shouldn't be top 25 imo, and there is NO way Ronaldo is worth less than Hazard. The guy scored more goals last year than anyone else. In addition, Pogba is worth his amount based heavily off potential, which is dangerous. I don't have an issue with Eriksen or Gotze being there, but I know many people would. In addition, there is not a single defender on here, and only one GK, Courtois. I don't deny he's good, but I would rate De Gea and Neuer both above him. This list has issues.

EDIT: Also, does anyone here honestly think that Coutinho is worth more than Toni Kroos? Or Kane more than Bale?

This list is laughable if Sterling is worth twice as much as Kroos and Hazard is even considered to be in the same bracket as Ronaldo.

Most of this list is down to the players age and it doesn't reflect their abilities on the pitch in some cases (meaning that it doesn't show who's better than who). Use your brain.. jeez. I can't believe what I'm reading on this site sometimes.

Diego Costa, Fabregas, Sanchez doubled their value in one season, for me thats called PL hype magic. We cant say the same about Bale and Suarez who would be topping the list if they were still playing in PL or James/Gotze being less valued than Sterling, you may play for Bayern/Madrid who ask you for consistence everyday and makes you progress faster, it doesnt worth playing for Liverpool, the mighty reds you play there for six month, score some goals at times, your value will explode : Sterling and Coutinho....no comment.

Messi value is indecent, no player should be valued that high its ridiculous...

I don't believe Sterling is more valuable than even Kroos.

@juan Yes.

Not just ability and age but also market demand . Scarcity of English talent in EPL forces higher price tag for Sterling and demand for such talent is high among top clubs to comply with CL rules . Still overrated and overpriced though .

I don't get why you lot don't think sterling doesn't deserve to be that high. He is an English raw talent who is world class and got potential. He is raw, quick and got potential and I believe he can be one of the best footballers ever alongside Messi, pele, Ronaldo etc.

Trap trap in the bando is correct you know. Sterling scored 11 goals in the premier league last season as a 19 year old. Has Messi or pele ever achieved that?

I'm pretty sure that goal was pure luck. Also don't compare BPL to la liga where any player can score around 60+ goals in a season to the BPL where the most ever scored was 31. La liga is a child's league with 2-3 good teams. And don't say " where was BPL in the champions league " BPL is unlucky because la liga teams cheat in champions league.

The trolls are back, in case you didn't know, Pele has won World Cup as a 17 years old, and about Messi we don't even have to speak. If you're comparing Messi with Sterling then you need to get a brain.

The word '' pure luck '' is a little familiar now, another account of the other guy.

I would agree, Sterling had a good break through season with Sturridge and Suarez, after Suarez departure he had a big chance to confirm and play a big role but he didnt, it doesnt mean his progression or career is over, but i dont see in him the mentality to become a future legend...

He is still young but his value is only a speculation about what he would do in the future, while for me a player value is what the player is able to do in the present.

40M is more than enough, i dont rate him higher than Hazard or Lucas Moura before joining Chelsea or PSG ( 40mil ), and he doesnt look as matured as Pogba/Gotze/Koke/Verratti/Marquinhos who are also yougsters and delivred in big competitions and big games...

Vietto or Dybala for example are as talented and lack the experience he lacks, caped few times just like Raheem but valued arround 20-25Mil.

Being talented in Football doesnt make you better in the future, Hatem Ben Arfa and Menez were the most talented of their generation but Karim Benzema was the one to have a big career because he had a hard working mentality...

Im still waiting for Raheem to confirm, he is far from doing it at the moment and never cost 80M, he reamins a bargain for a big club and it would be interesting to see if he could handle such a price tag pressure or go to a big club and fight for a starting place...

Another thing, knowing Messi and Griezmann buyout clauses ( 250 mil and 65 mil ) maybe those values are only players buyyout clauses...

Ummm sterling doesn't perform in big games? He scored against Manchester City last season at anfield where Liverpool won 3-2 and almost won them the title. Pogba disappeared in the champions league final and gotze went missing in the World Cup final apart from scoring a tapster which is overrated even a 10 year old can finish that chance. Koke got destroyed 5-1 by Netherlands, verratti did f*ck all against Barcelona in the ucl, Marquinhos he is simply overrated haven't even seen 1 good performance from him. So overall sterling is on level with Messi. Same dribbling pace shooting is similar and both are 5'7.

Sterlings scored a goal against Manchester City 2 season ago, wow. Gotze was playing since 89 minute and scored goal which won the World Cup, which sport you watch again?
