7 Most Valuable 2022 World Cup Squads
Спорт
From the England squad, which boasts the likes of Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham, to the France squad, starring Kylian Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouaméni among others, HITC Sevens takes a look at the most valuable squads at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar according to Transfermarkt's valuations.

Wouldn't it be interesting to find out the value of these squads AFTER the WC? This would go some way in quantifying the true value of having a 'good' World Cup. Give it a go.

Seconded, then do a comparison to see the values change and then look at players who might actually move in the January transfer window
Food for thought: By virtue of being born in Leeds, Erling Haaland could have chosen to declare for England instead and lead the line alongside Harry Kane. A pipe dream of course, but that pairing would break the defence of any team.

The education, entertainment, and sarcastic humor of your vids add immense flavor to the world cup experience
I managed to catch this video a several minutes after upload so I'll leave a comment. I love the formatting of your videos, they are amazingly structured essays. Watching them has been one of my favourite past times as i take l o n g breaks from writing my bachelors' thesis. Without a doubt you as a content creator have helped me better myself in academia. Best and worst thing is the theme - its mainly Football and not so much International relations (fun to watch but cant help me "cheat" my way through higher education). Keep up the human rights journalism, perhaps i find extra inspiration, and hopefully all your viewers become more aware of important issues.
Messi still worth 50 Mil at the age of 35 is mental, surprising that Enzo Fernandez isn't much higher up that list. Portugal arguably have the best squad this WC, England are in their own golden era.

One thing you forget about the transfermarkt valuations is that it is the valuation of a player given that a sale happens. The value of all players you mentions whose value seems to low seems much better when you look at it from the perspective of 'What will he be worth to his new club' instead of 'what is he worth to his old club.'

I still think that people underestimate england as historically they are valued quite a lot but where never a team, this time they have more of a team rather than just superstars. They are unfortunate to meet France so early on, as I think England could beat everyone else left in the cup now.

Every World Cup has kind of a wonder team that no one saw coming. They have yet another mountain to climb with Portugal next.
There’s English tax but it’s also because there are tons of good English players. For example Bellingham, who doesn’t play in England is second most expensive I think
Alfie you’re mixing up market value with the value a certain player has to their specific club
English players will always have inflation on them because they’re homegrown players for the prem and that very valuable to English teams. Therefore they’re worth more.

I like that you addressed the England haters in the room before giving a clear, unbiased explanation. Sometimes having English as the defacto world language is a drawback due to these things. Every time a british media outlet comes out and says oh England have a chance, they get heckled by foreign trolls (who for some reason prefer to watch our media rather than media in their own language) calling them biased, arrogant, cheaters etc. I'm frankly sick of the hate from the non-English trolls which is totally unprovoked and uncalled for.

You should do a follow up to What has happen to Australian football. I sense a repeat of the mid 2010s will happen, when the game was growing in popularity, you think this would happen after the socceroos great performance at the world cup and then the media turned on the game and only covered negative stories to help destroy the game. Nearly worked as attendances dropped. Can also discuss that the federal government invests more money into hockey, sailing and cycling over football

I’ve never understood why Football isn’t far more popular in Australia?? I find it strange how Cricket and Rugby were the Sports that the Aussies fell in love with when the British took it with them to Australia in our Colonial past…. Maybe it’s because those Sports were classed as upper class and Football is traditionally Working Class…. Therefore the only English Working class in Australia in those times were prisoners whereas the elites who ruled from Britain would have looked down their Noses at Football back then….

England has the "most valuable" squad because English teams will over pay for English talent. Grealish costing almost as much as Haaland and Mbappe makes me giggle.
I told people from the beginning of WC that Portugal was one of the favorites as they have one the most gifted squads together with brazil france and England. People were telling me about Argentina 🤦🏾 . Open your eyes look at the squads . From defence to attack that squad is Stacked!!
Let's get one thing clear - England have been good at scoring. Unless they don't score. Iran, Wales and Senegal obviously outweigh the draw with USA. But you watch large parts of England matches and there is no creativity, no skill. Maybe Grealish, but who else can run with the ball? The game Gareth is playing is - get the ball and take your chances. Is Transfermarkt right? Possibly, but that's because of the infamous PL 'tax'. The richest league can afford to pay for, and keep, the best players. Although we love our exotic foreign talent, if that's all it was there would be a backlash. So English players attract a premium. Watching the teams in the World Cup it's obvious that France, Brazil and Portugal are by far the best. The only hope for England is they sit back against the French and wait patiently for the counter. Regardless, the best outcome has to be Brazil v Portugal in the final. Yes, perhaps it will be more in hope than expectation, but we can always hope!

English players are always hugely overvalued for the simple reason that premier league is the richest championship and at the same time the squads need to have about 1/3 of homegrown players. Which is also the reason why you don't see them playing in championships other than the English one. Team like Barcelona Real Bayern etc can afford them but they can get just as good or better foreign players at less than half the price from elsewhere and at the same time the English players themselves have no reason to move abroad for half the money they can get in what is something of an oligopoly for them in their own country. End of the day a player's worth what someone is willing to pay for them and not what their objective value is. Case in point Ronaldo whom no team in Europe wanted but nonetheless became the highest paid footballer in history at the age of 37 by moving to Saudi Arabia...
