However, it is Bala Town who boast the strongest representation in the rankings, with five of their players featuring in the top 10.

Declan McManus tops the Cymru North player valuations

McManus, of Bangor City, takes top spot with a valuation of £6,200.

The experienced forward is the most valuable player in the division according to the game, underlining his standing as one of the Cymru North’s most prominent names.

He has scored 11 goals and registered seven assists in 13 league appearances during the 2026/27 campaign, giving him an outstanding total of 18 goal contributions.

McManus has also had a caretaker spell as Bangor City’s manager, making his season an interesting one both on and off the pitch.

Bala Town duo Jamie Cumming and Jake Phillips share second place, with both players valued at £4,300. Cumming has made seven league appearances and scored once, while Phillips has featured six times for the Lakesiders.

Bangor City are represented again in fourth place, with Adam Long receiving a valuation of £4,100. Long has made 13 league appearances this season, scoring once and keeping three clean sheets.

Bala Town’s Aron Williams is valued at £4,000 by Football Manager 2027, making him the fifth most valuable player in the Cymru North.

Williams made one appearance for Colwyn Bay in the Cymru Premier before joining the Lakesiders.

He has since featured nine times for Bala in the Cymru North, registering one assist. That contribution came in the club’s most recent outing against Guilsfield.

Bala Town dominate the top 10 as captain Burke and Kelly impress

Bala Town have five players in the top 10, underlining the strength of their representation in Football Manager 2027’s rankings.

Alongside Cumming and Phillips, Aron Williams is valued at £4,000, Oliver Shannon at £3,700, Nathan Burke at £3,500 and Tom Kelly at £3,200.

Williams made one appearance for Colwyn Bay in the Cymru Premier before joining the Lakesiders. He has since featured nine times for Bala in the Cymru North, registering one assist, which came against Guilsfield in the club’s most recent outing.

Bala captain Burke has been a regular presence for the Lakesiders, making 12 league appearances and scoring once. He has missed just two league games this season.

Former Wrexham youngster Kelly returned to Maes Tegid permanently after leaving the EFL Championship club.

The midfielder has made 13 league appearances, scoring once and providing three assists since returning to Bala.

There is a different story with Oliver Shannon, who is valued at £3,700 but has yet to make an appearance for Bala Town in the current campaign.

Newtown and Gresford Athletic also feature

Away from the two clubs dominating the rankings, Newtown and Gresford Athletic also have players among the division’s most valuable.

Newtown’s Uniss Kargbo, who is on loan from Colwyn Bay, shares Plecsa’s £3,900 valuation.

Kargbo has made five appearances for the Robins this season, having joined the club on loan alongside his brother Issa, who is also on loan from Colwyn Bay.

One of the more intriguing names in the rankings is Gresford Athletic’s Saul Plecsa. The midfielder is valued at £3,900 by Football Manager 2027, putting him joint sixth among the division’s most valuable players.

However, his involvement in the 2026/27 Cymru North campaign has been limited so far.

Plecsa has made just one league appearance, playing 22 minutes against Mold Alexandra on September 6. He has also been an unused substitute on two occasions.

Their inclusion means four different clubs are represented in the top 10, although Bala Town and Bangor City account for seven of the places between them.
