La Liga 2016/17: Best players so far according to stats

The La Liga season is heading towards its business end and it has already thrown up plenty of surprises and new performers. As always, there are also the usual consistent performers like Luis Suarez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi who find themselves near the top for goals scored and assists.

While goal scoring and the assist leaderboard is predictably dominated by the Real Madrid and Barcelona players, the tackles leaderboard does not feature even a single player from the two Spanish giants. Without much ado, let us take a look into the top scorers, assist leaderboard, highest pass % accuracy and the tackles leaderboard of La Liga at the end of March.

Top Scorers

The La Liga is heading towards the business end with 28 matches being played already (27 in the case of Real Madrid). Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Cristiano Ronaldo are predictably the frontrunners in the race for the pichichi award.

What makes this list interesting is the fact that unfancied players like Iago Aspas, Sergi Enrich and Gerard Moreno also make the top 10. Some huge names like Neymar, Bale and Benzema surprisingly fail to even make the top 10 list for top scorers in La Liga. While Bale has been injured for a large part of the season, the likes of Neymar, Benzema and Morata have not had their shooting boots on.

Atletico Madrid duo Kevin Gameiro and Antoine Griezmann are both in the top 10 with both the Rojiblancos forwards reaching double digits.
