£81m striker, £72m defensive star: The most valuable England XIs in men and women's football

England may have failed to secure a victory at the Nations League last month, but the Lionesses are impressing at Euro 2022.

After beating Austria 1-0 and thrashing Norway 8-0, England have qualified for the quarter-finals as winners of Group A, without even playing this evening’s match against Northern Ireland.

With a squad packed full of star players, many have now tipped the Lionesses to go all the way. But what is their most valuable starting XI? And how does this compare to the men’s most valuable starting XI?

Using evaluations from Transfermarkt and Soccerdonna, we worked it out.

GK: Ellie Roebuck (Manchester City) – £76,500

RB: Lucy Bronze (Barcelona) – £110,500

CB: Millie Bright (Chelsea) – £136,000

CB: Leah Williamson (Arsenal) – £212,500

LB: Rachel Daly (Houston Dash) – £102,000

CM: Kiera Walsh (Manchester City) – £136,000

CAM: Fran Kirby (Chelsea) – £255,000

LM: Lauren Hemp (Manchester City) – £204,000

ST: Alessia Russo (Manchester United) – £149,000

The most valuable XI for the Lionesses is more or less the starting line-up currently put out by Sarina Wiegman at Euro 2022.

Mary Earps is preferred in goal to Roebuck, however, and Ellen White has been started up front over Russo.

RB: Trent Alexander Arnold (Liverpool) – £72m

CB: Ben White (Arsenal) – £36m

CB: Fiyako Tomori (AC Milan) – £45m

LB: James Justin (Leicester City) – £22.5m

CM: Declan Rice (West Ham) – £72m

CM: Jude Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund) – £72m

RM: Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) – £58.5m
