#3 Luis Suarez (FC Barcelona)

The Uruguayan overcame a poor start to the season

Barcelona striker, Luis Suarez is one of the few players that experienced poor form early this season. The departure of Neymar to PSG affected the Uruguayan and he was just a shadow of himself in the first few La Liga games. He needed some time to adapt to a new manager (Ernesto Valverde) and a new formation (4-4-2).

But gradually, the striker started to adapt to these changes. After a couple of games, Suarez rediscovered his form and became a vital impact on Barcelona's season. Ever since he started scoring again, the attacker has been doing great in La Liga. He is one of the best finishers in the Spanish top flight this season.

He has already scored 23 goals in 28 appearances for the Blaugrana to place them comfortably on top of the table. He also has a decent goal ratio of 0.82 goal(s) per game. His conversion rate is quite amazing. The attacker has converted 21.5% of his total 107 shots in the league this season.

#2 Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid)

Ronaldo has been unmatchable since the turn of the year.

Cristiano Ronaldo was affected by Real Madrid's poor start to the season. The attacker struggled in his first few La Liga games this term as Real Madrid experienced a series of bad results. This prompted many people to suggest that the Portuguese was past his peak and would not have many impacts in the campaign.

If there is one thing Ronaldo really does perfectly, it is definitely proving people wrong. Since the turn of the year, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has dominated the headlines with his fantastic displays. In fact, he has been scoring almost at will in the Spanish top division. The attacker has reclaimed his position as one of the deadliest finishers in La Liga.

So far, the Real Madrid talisman has scored an amazing 24 goals in 25 La Liga appearances, averaging a goal in every 91 minutes. Out of his 24 goals, 13 were scored with his right foot, 7 with his left and the remaining 4 have come from headers.

He has been a real threat in the box and has been very clinical in penalty kicks, scoring 3 goals from the spot.
