While players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are expected to top the list at the end of the season, this year it is Bayern Munich’s Thomas Muller is the player who has taken the early lead. The German forward has managed to score six goals for the Bavarians this season, and it doesn’t seem like he will be slowing down anytime soon.
The second place on the list is taken by another player from the German league, Borrusia Dortmund’s speedster Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang made it into the list after scoring five goals for the team. The player has been a crucial part of Thomas Tuchel’s squad and has helped Dortmund return to the top.

From the Ligue 1 Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s teammate Edinson Cavani, and Olympique Lyonnais striker Nabil Fekir has made it into the list.
