Bundesliga most valuable XI: Bayern Munich dominate as Michael Olise value revealed

The Bundesliga season is fast approaching, and it remains to be seen if Bayern Munich can be dethroned for the second time in four seasons.

Vincent Kompany's Bavarians have won the last two league titles on offer, as well as 13 of the last 14, and their dominance has come in part because of their financial dominance.

In this article, we have built the Bundesliga's most valuable XI, showcasing the league's best players by position, their values and how they performed last season ahead of an exciting 2026-27.

Bundesliga's most valuable XI

Here is the Bundesliga's most valuable XI by position, with all values taken from Transfermarkt:

Starting between the posts, Borussia Dortmund's Gergor Kobel is the Bundesliga's most valuable goalkeeper, with a value of £34.1m. He is one of only three non-Bayern Munich stars to make this XI, and he managed to keep 15 clean sheets in 34 league games last term.

Josip Stanisic makes the team as a right-back, and he also has a value of £34.1m. He was not always a first-term starter given he was in the lineup from the first whistle in just 19 Bundesliga games, but he was still a strong performer for Bayern Munich.

Dayot Upamecano fills the first centre-back spot, with the Bayern Munich star valued at £64m, and it comes as no surprise given his reputation as one of the division's best passers from deep areas of the pitch.

Nico Schlotterbeck is the second Dortmund inclusion, with the centre-back valued at £46.9m. The 26-year-old was part of a BVB defence that managed to keep 15 clean sheets, though he was only part of the team for 11 of those shutouts.

Nathaniel Brown recently signed for Bayern Munich from Eintracht Frankfurt, and he joins the club with a value of £42.7m. He is an offensive-minded left-back, and there are hopes that he can replace the impact of Alphonso Davies.

Aleksandar Pavlovic is yet another Bayern Munich star to join this team, and with a value of £76.8m, he is the Bundesliga's most valuable midfielder. The 22-year-old is exceptional in and out of possession, and his young age makes him one of the league's most exciting prospects.

Dortmund's Felix Nmecha – valued at £46.9m – completes the double pivot, and he is the last BVB player to make the team. The German international can be frustratingly inconsistent, but he is difficult to get past at his best.

On the right side of attack, Michael Olise is the Bundesliga's most valuable player, valued at an astonishing £152.2m. Despite the creator being consistently linked to Real Madrid, it is difficult to imagine any team matching Bayern Munich's demands.

Attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala boasts a high value in his own right at £85.3m, though the Bayern star's value would have almost certainly been higher had his season not been heavily disrupted by injury issues.

Luis Diaz earns a place on the left of attack, as the Bayern Munich winger is valued at £59.7m. In his debut campaign for the Bavarians, the forward scored 15 goals in 32 Bundesliga games, and he was undoubtedly one of the best attackers in Germany.

Striker Harry Kane was arguably the best player in the world last term, though the Bayern Munich forward only has a value of £51.2m. That value still means he is the most valuable striker in the Bundesliga, but he would likely be ahead of Olise if he was not in his thirties.
