The CIES Football Observatory have compiled a list of the top 100 most valuable players with the best line-up worth £1.16billion.
Mbappe, 23, makes up £206million alone with Real Madrid star Vinicus Jr worth £185m in second place.
Manchester City have four players in the most valuable XI including summer signing Erling Haaland.
The Citizens managed to pinch the striker for just £51m due to a clause in his Borussia Dortmund contract but CIES rank his true value at £152m.
City also boast Ruben Dias and Joao Cancelo in the line-up as well as Phil Foden, who is rated at £124m.

However, Reece James is valued just £5m less while English trio Mason Mount, Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho are also deemed more valuable than the Liverpool star.
Bellingham and Foden are joined in midfield by Pedri – the Barcelona prodigy is the most valuable midfielder in the world with a price tag of £135m.
