As a club that regularly competes for trophies, Liverpool do not rely on youth week in, week out.
Nevertheless, there are plenty of youngsters who are highly rated in the game.
Here's Liverpool's most valuable U23 side, including the players out on loan, as per Transfermarkt's estimations:
We've had a couple of issues when drawing up this team. First of all, where do you put all the centre-backs?
Ibrahima Konate is a first-team player while Rhys Williams and Sepp van den Berg are also relatively well-known to an average Liverpool fan.
The most mysterious name is Anderson Arroyo, a 22-year-old Colombian centre-back who is currently on loan at Mirandes, a Spanish second-tier club.
There are no natural left-backs there, so we shifted Van den Berg there as he at least has played a lot on the opposite flank.
There are no such issues up front, although Neco Williams was pushed out of his usual right-back spot by Trent Alexander-Arnold who still qualifies for this team despite being a world-class player.
Here are the valuations of each player in our U23 team, as per Transfermarkt:
Caoimhin Kelleher - £2.25m
Sepp van den Berg - £2.7m
Anderson Arroyo - £540k
Rhys Williams - £3.6m
Trent Alexander-Arnold - £72m
Ibrahima Konate - £27m
Curtis Jones - £27m
Harvey Elliott - £13.5m
Neco Williams - £7.2m
Kaide Gordon - £900k
Ben Woodburn - £1.35m
Overall worth: £158m
