Raheem Sterling is the second most expensive footballer in Premier League history. Just let that sink in for a moment. Every single player to play in England's top flight who isn't called Angel Di Maria cost less than the ex-Liverpool winger. The £49 million 20-year-old even went for more money than Zinedine Zidane at his peak... Sterling is a talented player with a big future, but that's an insane price for a man with 11 goals and 9 assists in an enormous 58 games for club and country last season. Like many players on this list, he should turn out to be a great player but FIFA 16 will see his ratings explode, and with pace like his, he could be one of the most sought-after figures on the entire game, even though he's not on that level in the real world just yet.
