#3 Luis Suarez – €30m increase to €100m
The third member of the famed trio of MSN completed the attacking lineup that dominated both Spanish and European football last season as Barcelona swept all before them aside to win a treble. 122 goals from three players was no mean feat.
And he has only leveled up this season with 45 goals so far this season – already a massive 20 goals more than last season’s count (partly due to the ban that saw him miss the first couple of months of the season).
In Messi’s absence, he provided the Catalan club not only goals but a leadership figure in attack to climb up the table and also progress to the Champions League knockouts without any major hiccups.
Will he score 50 this season? He has six games (including the Copa del Rey final) to do so.
