Minutes per goal: 95.6

When people around the world talk about the best strikers on the planet, why does the conversation never veer to Edinson Cavani?

Yes, he might be playing in Ligue 1 - not the most defensively sound of footballing leagues on the planet - but the sheer numbers he puts up against all grades of opposition should in all reality be too much to ignore.

This year, as ever, he's crossed 50 goals and with relatively easier fixtures coming up it will be a hard task keeping him at bay when it comes to the final reckoning.

Matches left: 2 (Rennes away, Caen home)
