On Thursday, FIFA announced the 23 players for each of the 32 World Cup teams. All put together, these 786 players have a total market value of $9.69 billion, according to the trading site Transfermarkt. The priciest squad taking the field in Brazil this month? Spain. The scrappiest? Honduras. The Spanish squad’s players have a market value of $916 million, representing 9.5% of the total market. That’s nearly 34 times the Honduran team’s $31.1 million value, which accounts for 0.32% of the market.
