Aubameyang (39) : Personal best
Higuaín (35) : Personal best
Jonas (34) : Personal best
Muller (32) : Personal best
Griezmann (31) : Personal best
Neymar (30) : Personal league best
Aguero (29)
Benzema (28) : Personal league best
Kane (28) : Personal league best
Lukaku (25) : Personal best
Rooney + Falcao + Hazard (21)

funny this happened a year after we bitched about good strikers ...

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Few of those are actually 'strikers' in the number 9 sense of the word

 

[Arnau]

Messi is only 8 goals from Ronaldo? I had the impression the difference were huge

I dont know your definition of few, actually 10 out of 15 mentioned names are 9s ...

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I didn't know Jonas scored so many - how does he work with Ronaldo for Portugal?

 

[kp41]

He's Brazilian my friend ...

 

[poet11]

Never mind.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Ah. I thought a good Portuguese striker sounded unusual

Yeah, it's one of the great mysteries of our times.

I tried to check most strikers came to my mind, current update this year:

Cavani 24
Messi 23
Lewandowski, Aubameyang 20
Dzeko 18
Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Aguero, Icardi 16
Suarez, Falcao, Lacazette 15
Sanchez, Belotti, Mertens 14
Diego Costa 13
Higuain 13
Aduriz 12
Walcott 11
Benzema, Carrasco 10

flops;
Rooney 3
Martial 4
Muller 4
Neymar 6

It's so obviously Lewandowski now. If we take out Messi, of course. His movement and technique in striking the ball is just amazing. He had 30 goals in 34 Bundesliga matches last year.
