Most expensive Premier league XI

Taken from a report by the Daily Mail.

The value of a footballer obviously depends on several factors. Age, form, club - and it is no surprise to see the XI proposed come from just six different teams.

Here is the XI in question with their respective transfer fees affixed:
GK - Petr Cech, Chelsea (£17.5 million)
DF - Vincent Kompany, Manchester City (£31 million)
DF - David Luiz, Chelsea (£25.5 million)
DF - Jan Vertonghen, Spurs (£19.5 million)
DF - Kyle Walker, Spurs (£16.5 million)
MF - Jack Wilshere, Arsenal (£29 million)
MF - Fernandinho, Manchester City (£28 million) MF - Mesut Ozil, Arsenal (£44 million)
FW - Wayne Rooney, Manchester United (£39.5 million)
FW - Sergio Aguero, Manchester City (£39.5 million)
FW - Luis Suarez, Liverpool (£46 million)

So who should feel aggrieved to miss out?

Yaya stands out for me, but age probably lowers his transfer price.

I'd have to disagree with Wilshere. He's not even the second best midfielder in his own team yet, and for me would always play second fiddle to Silva. Plus if Fernandinho is still worth £28m, then Yaya is worth the same all day long even at his age.

Kyle Walker, fuck me if he is the most expensive full back in the country the world's fucked. Ivanovic is by far a better player although still limited.

We didn't pay that much for Kompany

Oh. In that case there's quite a few you could argue with. No one worth more than Kyle Walker in that position?

If it's based on real value today then he's worth about £5mil - especially considering he's out injured due to a wanking strain.
