England are 10/1 to go one better than five years ago and win the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens in San Francisco. England, world sevens champions 25 years ago when their squad included the likes of Lawrence Dallaglio, Matt Dawson and Tim Rodber, are seeded fourth in the 24-team tournament behind South Africa, Fiji and New Zealand.

We’ve cast our eye back to the deals done in the Premier League and EFL last summer, comparing what each signing achieved on the pitch with their total cost to the club – based on reported fees and wages – to see which players represented the best and worst value for money in a range of categories.
