Man City star midfielder worth as much as the entire Premier League squad

The total cost of buying 11 players in the 2015-2016 Premier League Team of the Season reached $70.8 million, equal to the amount Man City spent to buy Raheem Sterling last summer.

The PFA Team of the Year is dominated by players who have just won the Premier League with Leicester City and runners-up Tottenham (four each). They are also joined by midfielder Payet (West Ham), defender Bellerin (Arsenal) and goalkeeper David De Gea (Man Utd).

What's surprising about the squad above is that the total purchase price is not large: 70.8 million dollars, or only 6.4 million per player on average. Meanwhile, just buying Raheem Sterling from Liverpool last summer, Man City spent 70.8 million.

Premier League Team of the Season 2015-2016.

What was more surprising was that Sterling did not play well in the 2015-2016 season. This midfielder could only help the team win the League Cup, while failing in the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.

Sterling cost Man City a lot of money but has not brought the success he deserves.

Meanwhile, players who were unknown for many seasons like Vardy, Mahrez, Dele Alli suddenly played very successfully. Leicester City only spent 1.4 million to buy Vardy, while Mahrez's price was less than 600,000.

In the typical squad, there are only three players who cost around 14 million: De Gea, Toby Alderweireld and Payet. Tottenham did not even have to spend money to get Harry Kane and Dele Alli, because they developed themselves.
