#7 Alejandro (Papu) Gomez (3 goals – 6 points)

Alejandro Gomez is the main source of goals and a contender for the Golden Shoe for Atalanta.

Papu Gomez sits atop of the Serie A top-scorers chart alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku with three goals.

The Argentine is one of the driving forces in the attack of Atalanta as the side continues to run riot in the Italian league. Gomez is not just a prolific striker but also helps to set goals up for his teammates, as evidenced by his two assists this season.

#6 Memphis Depay (4 goals – 8 points)

Memphis Depay is still finding the net despite playing on the wings

Memphis Depay has played five games in Ligue 1 this season and has scored four goals. The Dutchman is the subject of a reported bid from Barcelona.

While that move is yet to materialise, the winger is delivering for Lyon. Last season he was made captain and he led the side to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Depay has continued from where he left off and is dazzling Ligue 1 with his pace, trickery and goals.
