Judge established players on current ability

A signing for today should be measured by CA, because that is the level you get on match day. Declan Rice at 182 and Thibaut Courtois at 181 set the standard in their positions, and Courtois is the only goalkeeper above 175.

PA matters less here. Manuel Neuer shows a current ability of 140 against a potential of 193 at age 40, and Cristiano Ronaldo shows 145 against 195 at 41. Those gaps describe the peak of a career, not room to grow.

Most expensive players and biggest wages

Ousmane Dembélé carries the highest estimated value at €317.2M, followed by Jude Bellingham at €283.9M and Unai Simón at €273.8M. Michael Olise, on 185, is worth €221.5M, which makes him far cheaper than Dembélé for one point less.

Cristiano Ronaldo earns the most by a wide margin at €3,976,958 a week, against €671,751 for Mbappé and €575,786 for Roberto Firmino.

Ousmane Dembélé ST · PSG CA 186 PA 188 Jude Bellingham AMC · R. Madrid CA 181 PA 188 Michael Olise AMR · FC Bayern CA 185 PA 190

Cheap experience for a short-term fix

Age pushes prices down fast. Virgil van Dijk still rates 176 at 34 and is valued at only €9.8M, and Luka Modrić is worth €5.1M with a current ability of 158 at 40. Check contract length and stamina first, because these players suit one or two seasons rather than a long project.

Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain each hold eight players on this list, so those squads are the hardest to raid.
