Million Euro Men…
There are currently just three players in the Premiership that have a market value of over €2m (±R40m) according to Transfermarkt, and unsurprisingly all of them play for Mamelodi Sundowns.
Peter Shalulile is currently the league's highest valued player at €2.5m (±R50m), followed by Marcelo Allende and Teboho Mokoena at €2m (±R40m) each, while three others – Thapelo Morena €1.5m (±R30m), Keagan Dolly €1.4m (±R28m) and Ronwen Williams €1.3m (±R26m), are just behind them.

Buccaneers staking their claim
Pirates' first mention on the full list, is high flying Monnapule Saleng, and Nkosinathi Sibisi in ninth and 10th positions respectively.
The next Buccaneer on the list is captain Innocent Maela in 22nd place with a market value of €1m, then further down the list, are the likes of Thapelo Xoki and Paseka Mako.
Ronwen still number one
Interestingly, only one of the top 10 players with the highest value according to Transfermarkt is a goalkeeper, his ranking made possible thanks to his mega-money move to Mamelodi Sundowns.
