![]() With expertise earned over centuries, Lloyd’s is the foundation of the insurance industry and the future of it. Lloyd’s is the world’s specialist insurance and reinsurance market. The research was supported by Sporting Intelligence, who provided anonymised footballer salary data for each of the 32 teams participating in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, based upon an indicative 30-man squad for each nation. The team with the highest insurable value in each match is the team Lloyd’s predicts to win and progress. Thereafter, Lloyd’s has plotted the path of each team in the knockout stages based upon their insurable values. The analysis enabled Lloyd’s to predict who would qualify from their respective groups. These projections formed the basis for assessing insurable values by player age, playing position and nationality. Players aged between 18-24 years old have on average the highest insurable value at £20m.Ĭebr used players’ wages and endorsement incomes, alongside a collection of additional indicators, to construct an economic model which estimates players’ incomes until retirement.Midfielders have the largest share of total squad insurable value (38%).Forwards are the most valuable players – their legs are worth £19.2m on average.The research also provides insight into the average insurable values of players: ![]() Similar analysis was undertaken by Lloyd’s and Cebr ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup which correctly predicted that Germany would be victorious. Having plotted the teams’ paths right through to the final, Lloyd’s predicts that Germany will fail to retain their title and France will be crowned World Champions. Group G, which includes Belgium, England, Panama and Tunisia, has the highest insurable value at over £2.3bn, according to the analysis.Ĭolombia, Japan, Poland and Senegal will battle it out in the ‘Group of Death’ for a place in the knockout stages – with just £26.5m separating the three teams in terms of valuation, Group H will be the most competitive in the tournament. The total collective value of all teams in this year’s tournament is estimated at £13.1bn, according to the research.Ī snapshot of this year’s research shows that France (£1.4bn), England (£1.17bn), Brazil (£1.1bn) have the three most expensive teams in terms of insurable value and that the average insurable value of one England player is more than the entire Panama squad. ![]() Lloyd’s, the world’s specialist insurance and reinsurance market, today released research with the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) ranking teams in this year’s FIFA World Cup based on the collective insurable value of players. Lloyd’s has predicted that, based on insurable value, France has the most expensive team competing in the 2018 FIFA World Cup and therefore should be victorious in Russia. ![]()
