I might be confusing it with another market type site.
10 most valuable players on the planet. List updated.

Might you be referring to figures from the CIES Observatory? Because I'm sure I remember him being valued around that by them a while back.
Edit: here
If you ever needed a proof that markets are clueless and horrible at fair pricing...
fecking Madrid have 4 players in that list, and they aren't even petrol owned
All of them are overpriced, most of them badly but 150 million for Phil fecking Foden or 130 million for Wirtz are just comical prices
See @Rojofiam ‘s post above. For the record, I don’t care too much for their „methodology“.
It‘s a bunch of dudes discussing. No science involved.
Yamal has been good for about 9 months.
wouldn't Rodri cost 130 or more ?
Good point.
In my opinion Valverde, Saka and Wirtz shouldn’t be on that list.

If anyone offered City £150M for Foden, they would sell him straight away.
Above Lamine Yamal? You’re crazy.
Wirtz easily best value for money on that list
Vinicius influenced big games in the CL with two final goals in a team that doesn’t even look to dominate meaning he was tasked with making the difference. What did Saka do at that level? They’re both more or less equal when it comes to weekly league consistency but Vinicius’s influence at the highest level gives him a clear edge.
So weird to see Foden on that list.
Oh please, who made this list up? 
Yamal £150m?? Ridiculous. The kids barely out of nappies and hasnt done anything!
Foden £130m?? Again, who's making this shite up?
No one's paying £200m for the top 4, no one.
Yamal £150m?? Ridiculous. The kids barely out of nappies and hasnt done anything!
Foden £130m?? Again, who's making this shite up?

He's a 40+ G/A winger. He still ended up with 35 G/A last season despite missing many games on injuries.
Yeah and he's also clearly a generational talent the way Mbappe was. People really finding these values so far fetched in a world where 18 year old Mbappe was ACTUALLY bought for like 180m.
You can probably blame that transfer and Naymar's the most on the reason why transfer fees have become so inflated.
It's Euros not Pounds, and I would say without PSR restrictions a team like Newcastle would easily be paying these kinds of values for those players. Also PSG of the recent past would have.Oh please, who made this list up?

Mbappe's already moved twice for roughly that amount. (The first time when he was arguably less experienced than Yamal is now. It's not just a PSG thing, either -- there's every indication that Madrid were willing to bid the same amount at the time.)
I'm not sure Endrick even played a senior game before Real signed him for around sixty million euros. They've done similarly with at least three other players.
Some of the pearl-clutching here's just abusrd.
What is Bellingham doing in that list especially at 3rd?
Quite literally the world's best player at 24, already won La Liga three times and Champions League twice, and is a big game player who always excels in these games. Of course he is worth that in this crazy market. Not a single player should be above him in terms of value.
It isn't always about having Messi or Ronaldo like numbers. Would you not take Ronaldinho at 23-24 now for €200m?
We'll see, most likely he will leave Bayer in the summer anyway. I doubt that it will require 100 million.
The valuations on that list are quite absurd. Typical list clickbait, made to let people argue.
Leverkusen's CEO Fernando Carro let slip in an interview that his price tag is €150M and other sources claim that noth Madrid, City, Arsenal and Liverpool are willing to pay that amount. And based on performances alone, he should be significantly more expensive than Bellingham who was not even close to the level Wirtz' displayed last season. There are rumours that Wirtz favors another contract extension and a move after the WC, though.
The valuation list is an effort community of Germany's biggest football forum by the way. Not saying that this makes it any better as I often find the results ridiculous but it is not as if somebody made up those numbers the provoke reactions.
Nonsensical subjective list with numbers pulled out of the air. The only players who belong on such a list with large valuations plucked out of the air are Haaland, Mbappe, Vinicius, Rodri. Everyone else has it all to prove.
This kind of lists are nonsens.

Why would I be joking? He is the player likely to win Balon d'Or - with good reason.
I'm not sure who you believe is better, but it wouldn't surprise me if you think Rashford or Maguire are better. Really not the one to be asking if others are joking with your genuine crazy takes.
He's the third best player on his team, at best. Mbappé and Bellingham are clearly superior footballers. And then I'd definitely put Haaland, De Bruyne, Salah, Yamal, and Kane above him too.
Ballon d'Or argument, great one mate. Because the best footballer always wins that right? So why wasn't Messi winning every single one since 2007 until the early 2020s?

I have a bit of a blind spot with Valverde. He's one of those players that every top side tends to have in their team but I don't think he's a special player in isolation or one you'd go around paying €130m for.
Youve done it again buddy
Cole Palmer will probably be on that list fairly soon. Maybe he already deserved to be there.
I don't think those valuations are super unrealistic in terms of potential market movements. They are overpriced, yes, but great players are often overpriced.
It's just hard to assess because, other than Haaland, it's unlikely that any of those players will make a big money move.

But the market cooled down because they were not close to worth those amounts.
That is a terrible way of judging things.
You're actually nuts man
It's like you have a competition with yourself how many wild takes you can have and how many posters you can get to disagree with you.Vinicius Junior is widely recognised as the best player in the world except maybe Mbappé. Bellingham, are you having a laugh? He is immensely talented and a very complete midfielder, but he has not done anything close to Vinicius yet. Add the fact that he goes missing in big games, so how could he possibly be the greater player?
33 year old past it de Bruyne isn't better than Vinicius. Try to be a little bit serious. Yamal, what can you say? One season behind him. He is unbelievable, but not Vinicius quite yet.

Is it a case of you not willing to say some stuff until it's a widely acceptable opinion?
There's no way you can watch both players and claim Yamal is not better IMO. Your counter-argument against him, and other players too, is age, or CV? I'm talking about being a better footballer, a more valuable profile, their overall skillsets, etc.
I'm not denying Vinícius is one of the best players in the world, but he most certainly doesn't have an argument for being the best player.
And how exactly has Bellingham not accomplished "anything close to Vinícius"? Geez
Not really, it is a case of watching the same the majority of football fans do and agree on, and not about having a different opinion than most every single time. I'm sure you're up for debating that Bednarek is a better CB than Saliba as well.
Yes, there are many ways that could happen. I use my eyes - I watch both football players play football, and Vinicius offers more than Yamal does, both in dribbling and output. Vinicius has also been brilliant in Champions League, while Yamal has 2 assists and one goal in 12 CL games. Vinicius is the difference maker for Real Madrid, game after game after game. In big games too, not just the league. Other than those beautiful inward crosses, tell me one quality Yamal is better at than Vinicius. And don't just make up things and say dribbling just because you always need to have a different opinion.
How does he not have an argument for that? Why do you, who clearly don't watch Real Madrid, feel you are a better judge of that? What does he lack? What does he miss in his game to not have an argument to be the world's best player?
Bellingham has been poor for England, poor start to the new season, and hasn't won as much as Vinicius. How could this possibly be difficult to comprehend? He had a good season in La Liga, didn't do much in CL, so how is he a better football player? I don't understand your logic here. Is your definition of the best football players the ones who are most naturally talented, or performances? Because it seems like you're talking about having a vast skillset, which is not what defines who the best players are.
He is as valuable asset as Vinicius for the tea playing against him.
Vinicius is better actually but Yamal is only 17.
