Luis Suarez
One of the best strikers in the world, Luis Suarez had a blast in the Premier League. He threatened and toyed with defences on a daily basis, scoring a mammoth 82 goals in only 133 appearances at Anfield. The Uruguayan hitman won PFA the Player of the year in 2014, Premier League Golden Boot and shared the European Golden Boot with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Suarez has continued his good form in the national side too, scoring 45 goals to become Uruguay’s highest goalscorer. For all the incredible stuff he’s done, Suarez was infamous for his bite on Ivanovic in an EPL match against Chelsea, and was handed a 10-game ban. He repeated his antics once again in the 2014 World Cup, where he bit Italian defender, Giorgio Chiellini just before his move to the Camp Nou.
Keeping all the biting aside, Suarez’s goalscoring record is ridiculous and is our first striker for the team.
Sergio Aguero
Most Manchester United fans will be enraged at the exclusion of Wayne Rooney from the list, but Aguero is on the list not only because of his incredible goalscoring abilities but also the massive role he played in Manchester City’s revolution.
The Argentine rightly scored the goal which made the world take notice of Manchester’s other half- winner against QPR in added time to win the EPL title from their neighbours, United, on goal difference on the last matchday (can easily be a Bollywood/Hollywood script). In the 2014-15 season, Aguero had the highest goals per minute ratio in the history of the competition since its inception in 1992.
Aguero also has something very few footballers can boast of- an Olympic gold medal in 2008 Beijing Olympics. He has 142 goals to his credit in the EPL and was an integral part of the Argentine team which finished runners up in 2014 World Cup, 2015 Copa America, and Copa America Centenario. Aguero completes our team of the 2010s.
