Sheffield United have gotten off to a flyer so far this season and they have to be considered top six contenders when you look at how strong they seem right now.

For sure, you wouldn't have thought they were in League One last season with the way they have adapted and now they'll certainly have at the back of their minds that back-to-back promotions are possible.

Certainly, it's been done before and with the Blades taking on all-comers home and away and winning, you cannot rule them out from achieving such a feat.

For sure, then, the squad needs to be given credit for what they're doing right now and if you were to name the most valuable star at the club, it would surely have to be Billy Sharp, wouldn't it?

Well, rather surprisingly, transfermarkt.com reckons it's actually Richard Stearman who is the Blades' most valuable asset at the moment with him commanding a valuation of £1.35m as opposed to the £900k Sharp is apparently worth.

Certainly, then, this is something that you find hard to believe - particularly when Stearman has been injured this season and not played as much as he could have whilst Sharp is firing in goals for fun right now.

Thoughts, Blades fans? Let us know below!
