#5 Gareth Bale, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane (90 Million Euros)
Position: Right Winger, Right Winger, Left Winger
We have a tie between three very talented players for the fifth position. It is tough to say which of these is more valuable than the others. However, you are free to make a judgement based on their last year performances.
Gareth Bale, the Welshmen is now tipped to become Real Madrid’s main man with Ronaldo making a move to Juventus.
Bale has certainly shown us that he is capable of doing so with his performances, especially with his match-winning stunning goal in the Champions League final. In the 2017-18 season, Bale scored 11 goals in 22 matches in the La Liga.
He created a total of 37 chances, having a shot accuracy of 49% and pass accuracy of 82%. Bale is a strong passer of the ball and his raw pace makes him dangerous.
Raheem Sterling has evolved his game over the past season under the coaching of Pep Guardiola. He was a key part of England’s world cup team that reached the semi-finals and of the title-winning team of Manchester City.
In the 2017-18 season, Sterling scored 18 goals in 31 appearances for his club. He created a total of 51 chances, having a shot accuracy of 53% and pass accuracy of 84%.
Leroy Sane was the most shocking omission from the world cup. The 22-year-old left winger had a good season. In a total of 32 appearances, he scored 10 goals for his club. He created a total of 57 chances, having a shot accuracy of 51% and pass accuracy of 84%. If he can keep up his good performances, he can surely go on to become one of the best players in world football.
