The EPL’s second most expensive defender at 100m euros, Virgil Van Dijk has been instrumental to Liverpool’s best-ever start to the season, netting three goals to make him the league’s highest scoring defender. Liverpool paid 85m euros for him last January when his market value was at 30m. But seeming that it has more than trebled less than two years, it was a worthy investment for the Reds. The Dutch international came a close second to Lionel Messi in the Ballon d'Or voting.

Aymeric Laporte is the only non-Liverpool player to make the back four. Like Van Dijk, the Manchester City defender’s value has not changed in the latest round of valuations and remains at 75m euros. This could be attributed to the fact that the Frenchman has not played since 31 August because of a knee injury. He is expected to return in six to eight weeks.
