#8 Dries Mertens
7 goals, 3 assists (89 mins/goal)
The 31-year-old Belgian international has been a steady performer for Napoli since his 2013 arrival from PSV, but he saw an exponential rise in his contributions when he was converted to an auxiliary striker by Maurizio Sarri following the departure of Higuain in 2016, and the injury sustained to his replacement Arkadiusz Milik.
He ended the 2016/2017 season with 28 goals, one behind Golden Boot winner Eden Dzeko, and was named into the Serie A team of the season.
He followed that up with 22 goals last season, as he spearheaded Napoli's exciting but ultimately fruitless quest for the Scudetto, and has scored seven so far this term from 11 appearances.
#7 Sebastian Haller (Eintracht Frankfurt)
7 goals, 5 assists (105 mins/goal)
The 24-year-old signed for Frankfurt from Dutch Club Utrecht in 2017 on a four-year deal, and has become an integral part of the starting line-up.
He scored nine goals from 31 appearances last season, but has exploded into form this camapign, scoring seven goals from 10 matches to help Frankfurt to the fifth spot on the standings.
